Ballad of the New Madrid Earthquake

One Sunday night as you may know
While we were all sleeping

The Lord from heaven was looking down
And set this earth to shaking.

Some looking up, ran out of doors
And others followed after

Then stood around with their hands up high
Crying, "Lord o’ Lord what is the matter?"

As for myself I must confess
I could but stand and wonder

Expecting every moment
for some louder clap of thunder.

A full six months has rolled around
And still the earth kept shaking

And Christians go with their heads bowed down
And sinners’ hearts are aching.
