OL’ BLACK ROLLER

IT ROLLED THROUGH THE PRAIRIES
BROUGHT ALL IT’S WRATH OUR WAY
KILLING TREES AND LIVESTOCK
IT FELT LIKE JUDGEMENT DAY
TIMES LIKE THESE FOLKS HAVE TO
FALL ON THEIR KNEES AND PRAY

(CHORUS)

OL’ BLACK ROLLER, OL’ BLACK ROLLER
FOLKS WANT TO KNOW WHY
WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE
TO BRING OUR END SO NIGH
OL’ BLACK ROLLER, OL’ BLACK ROLLER

FOR WHAT SEEMED A LIFETIME
IT’S FURY DID UNWIND
NOW IT’S PASSED IN IT’S WAKE
LEFT A BARREN LAND BEHIND
HOW CAN MOTHER NATURE
CHOOSE TO BE SO UNKIND

(CHORUS)

FLATTENED ACRES OF WHEAT GRAIN
INNOCENT LIVES HAVE BEEN SLAIN
THROUGH IT’S CHOKING TORRID REIGN

(SOLO)

(CHORUS)

OL’ BLACK ROLLER
WHY, WHY, WHY
OL’ BLACK ROLLER
