well she walked five miles
she walk five miles more
her little babies in her arms
her little children holding on
her little babies in her arms
she walk five miles more

and she knelt down with them
saying "babies don't you cry,
if we can make Houston
Houston
if we can make Houston
high and dry"

'cuz there ain't no place
called home no more
our tears washed it all away
yes our tears washed it all away
our tears washed it all away
no there ain't no place called home no more

that's natures' way
that's natures' way
simple as the rain coming down

I've got all of gods' love
right here in my arms
there ain't nothing more
there ain't nothing more
there ain't nothing more
sweet babies than you

that's natures' way
that's natures' way
simple as the rain coming down
