Ruination Day 2 Lyrics

by Gillian Welch

And the great boat sank, and the Okies fled
And the great emancipator took a bullet in his head

In the head
Took a bullet in the back of his head

It was not December and it was not May
It was the 14th of April, and his runiation day

That's the day
That's the day of his ruination day

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

From Their Home
They were 500 miles from their home

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

Casey Jones
God moves on the water Casey Jones

It was not December and it was not May
It was the 14th of April, and his runiation day

That's the day
That's the day that his ruination day
