lyrics

Leon was a sailor who never went to see
Lucinda was his bride, and they were happy as can be
He swept and moped the floors at the Labour Union Hall
Kept pictures of the big boats taped up on the wall

And then one day the water came and washed it all away
Lucinda bowed her head and she began to pray
She said, “The Lord he giveth, and he taketh away”
And they made love in a hurricane

Now, Leon loved lucinda more than life itself
And he made her a promise, one day they'd own a house
It wasn't much to look at, but it was there's and there's alone
Lucinda turned a rundown shack into a family home

And then one day the water came and washed it all away
Lucinda bowed her head and she began to pray
She said, “The Lord he giveth, and he taketh away”
And they made love in a hurricane

Some folks blamed the Devil
Some blamed the government
Some blamed God, and others wondered where the money went
But one man and one woman were thankful they'd been saved
And they made love in a Hurricane
Yeah, they made love in a hurricane

Leon was a sailor who never went to see
Lucinda was his bride and they were happy as can be
