Raining in Port Arthur
Rainy Port Arthur Memories: A Nostalgic Tale
Lyrics
This afternoon I walked out into a ditch
This afternoon, I walked out into a ditch.
The crawfish stirred the water
The crawfish stirred the water.
The papermill blew in on the southeastern wind
The papermill's presence became noticeable with the southeastern wind.
And it was raining in port arthur
Rain was falling in Port Arthur.
I pulled a dead limb from a fallen pine
I removed a dead limb from a fallen pine.
The sun was dropping on the lower neches valley
The sun was setting over the lower Neches Valley.
I called the dogs from out of the woods with a hollar
I called the dogs from the woods with a holler.
And it was raining in port arthur
Rain continued in Port Arthur.
That night my daddy drove us to maw maw's
That night, my daddy drove us to Maw Maw's.
He and mama wanted to be alone
My parents wanted to be alone.
I sat up in that mimosa tree with my brother
I sat in a mimosa tree with my brother.
And it was raining in port arthur
Rain persisted in Port Arthur.
The refinerys hum and glow from the road
The refineries hum and glow from the road.
And I listen to the dove as she mourns
I listened to the dove mourning.
I'm standing in the rice fields of beaumont
Standing in the rice fields of Beaumont.
And it was raining in port arthur
Rain continued to fall in Port Arthur.
