Natchez Fire

Lyrics for Natchez Fire

Did you read about the fire, 1937? Did you read about the fire, 1937? Walter Barnes and his big band, they was swingin' that night The buildin' had one door on the side The fire broke out late that night People screamin', they couldn't get out Everybody runnin', runnin' to the door The door got jammed, nobody got out All you could hear, tryin' "Lord have mercy" Hmmm, hmmm, save me, save me, save me It must have been a plan, a plan from above Mmm, a plan from above 'Cause who knows? No one was saved, not as I know Mmm, mmm, the band was swingin' late that night Mmm, the fire broke out, Natchez, Natchez, Mississippi Mmm, a dread big barn, a dread big barn Where many lives was gone down that night Mmm, you never forget, you never forget Mmm, mmm, mmm, Natchez, Mississippi Natchez, Mississippi, mmm, mmm
