Lyrics

Were you washed in the waters of the Red?
Holy Hannah, Holy Hannah her sisters and brothers brought you the flood.
Andy was the first one.
Lord how he did blow; showed up in November much too early for snow.
Betty blew in December.
Christopher right behind; made us white for Christmas.
Holidays were lookin' fine.

Doris was the next one, first in ninety-sev'n.
Elmo and Franzi followed -- ain't this much snow in heav'n.
All's calm in February.
March done brought us Gust.
Thought we were in the clear -- but honey!

Let me tell you a story -- Tell it girl! -- of a storm not so nice -- storm not so nice.
She brought all her glory -- all her glory -- of snow, wind and ice -- snow, wind and ice.
We lost all our power -- lights were out.
We lost all our heat -- too cold to pout.
Couldn't take a shower -- ooh you stink! -- not a hot meal to eat.
All because Hannah.
That old girl Hannah -- the worst storm of them all.
Yes it was Hannah. That old girl Hannah -- she made all the power lines fall.
We had to shovel the snow; cars wouldn't go; people were cold; It got really old.
Hannah -- yes it was Hannah. Hannah -- that old girl Hannah.
Hannah -- the worst storm of them all.
Holy Hannah. . .She was the worst of them all.
Oh yeah!
