Buffalo Creek

Do you remember Buffalo Creek?

Late at night I hear my momma weep

It was in the winter of 1972

The rain it fell and the wind it blew
 
 

Way up the hollow as the company dumped fill

They built a dam and it stretched from hill to hill

Every time it rained that water it got deeper

Every time it rained that dam it got weaker
 
 

Do you remember Buffalo Creek?

Do you remember Buffalo Creek?

(repeat 2 x)
 
 

Ma was at the window when she saw the monster's eyes

Made of bloody water and railroad ties

We ran for the hills but daddy he disappeared

We found his body twenty miles away hanging off an old bridge pier
 
 

Do you remember Buffalo Creek?

(repeat 3x)
 
 

Go back to bed ma' its just a dream

Go back to bed ma' its just a dream
