There’s a dirty storm a-coming, can’t you see?
There’s a dirty storm a-coming, can’t you see?
There’s a dirty storm a-coming
All the telegraph wires are humming
There’s a dirty storm a-coming, can’t you see?

Oh the pine trees are all swaying, don’t you know?
Oh the pine trees are all swaying, don’t you know?
Oh the pine trees are all swaying,
And the squirrels are a-praying
Oh the pine trees are all swaying, don’t you know?

Oh the clouds are thick like taters in the sky
Oh the clouds are thick like taters in the sky
Oh the clouds are thick like taters
I suspect they might hydrate us
Oh the clouds are thick like taters in the sky

Oh the air is thick with thunder, me oh my.
Oh the air is thick with thunder, me oh my.
Oh the air is thick with thunder
And dear God it is no wonder
Oh the air is thick with thunder, me oh my.

Oh it’s going to be a belter, just you wait.
Oh it’s going to be a belter, just you wait.
Oh it’s going to be a belter,
Leave the fields and seek out shelter
Oh it’s going to be a belter, just you wait.

Oh you should have got Communion, silly girl
Oh you should have got Communion, silly girl
Oh you should have got Communion,
And you’d better join the union
Oh you should have got Communion, silly girl
