Ruination Day, Part 2 Songtext
von Gillian Welch

And the great barge sank and the okies fled
And the great emancipater took a bullet in the head
In the head
Took a bullet in the back of the head

It was not December and it was not in May
Was 14th of April, that is ruination day
That′s the day
The day that is ruination day


They were one, they were two
They were three, they were four
They were 500 miles from their home
From their home
They were 500 miles from their home

When the iceberg hit, well, they must have known
That God moves on the water, Casey Jones
Casey Jones
God moves on the water, Casey Jones

It was not December and it was not in May
Was 14th of April, that is ruination day
That's the day
The day that is ruination day
