Oh, my friends, do you remember?
On that fatal New Year's night
The lights of old Los Angeles
Were a flick'ring, Oh, so bright
A cloud burst hit our city
And it swept away our homes;
It swept away our loved ones
In that fatal New Years flood
No, you could not see it coming
Till through our town it rolled;
One hundred souls were taken
In that fatal New Years flood
Whilst we all celebrated
That happy New Year's Eve
We knew not in the morning
This whole wide world would grieve;
The waters filled our canyons
And down our mountains rolled;
That sad news rocked our nation
As of this flood it told
No, you could not see it coming
Till through our town it rolled;
One hundred souls were taken
In that fatal New Years flood
Our highways were blockaded
Our bridges all washed down
Our houses wrecked and scattered
As the flood came a-rumblin' down;
I bow my head in silence
And I thank my God above
That He did not take my home from me
In that fatal New Year's flood
No, you could not see it coming
Till through our town it rolled;
One hundred souls were taken
In that fatal New Years flood
