lyrics
I know a man back in Tampa
He’s got himself a farm
He never went nowhere or did nothing, he never caused nobody no harm
But we all know that in this cruel world that that’s no guarantee
Anything can happen to anyone and it does as you will see
That’s when he knew, he got that feeling and his hair stood up on end
And that’s when he saw and that’s when he felt and that’s when he knew right then
There was a hawk in the cornfield
A cat with the mice
One in the chamber
Rollin’ loaded dice
Soon the hurricane winds of Florida
Were blowing fierce and strong
The rains came up out of nowhere
And then the floods came on
No one had seen that water mark since Andrew of ‘63
The water was over the orange trees now and he had no boat to flee
And that's when he knew and he looked at the sky and he knew his race was run
And that’s when he saw, and that’s when he felt, he knew his time was done
There was a hawk in the cornfield
A sign from above
A shark in the water
Ravens not doves
A hawk in the cornfield
A cat with the mice
One in the chamber
Rollin’ loaded dice
