Flood of '55

about

A true story of how Gordon came into the world.

lyrics

on August 19, 1955
the ol’ Mad River rolled up over the banks
where Housatonic and Naugatuck collide
bridges and bodies washed out to the sea
and the rain, rain kept comin
and the rain, rain kept comin

Hurricane Connie brought a half foot of water to New England
sent it running south from the hills to the valleys downstream
five days later came a Hurricane named Diane
another foot of water lit a hunt for the higher ground
and the rain, rain kept comin
and the rain, rain kept comin

heroes in the Waterbury streets and the roads of Winsted
doing everything they could to help a woman or a child survive
but it happened too quick, the rivers were running too high
they could only make it home to the arms of their worried wives
and the rain, rain kept comin
and the rain, rain kept comin
love was made in the flood
and the rain, rain kept comin
I was made in the flood of ‘55
and the rain, rain kept comin
