Lyrics The Great Molasses Disaster - The Darkest of The Hillside Thickets

The Great Molasses Disaster

Sugar, it’s hot today
So very hot today
Can you feel it?
Can you smell it?
Can you hear that tank a-creakin' away?
When the sheet iron blows
And the sweet mire flows
You got a real flash flood
And it’s not mud
You got two million gallons of molasses 'to go'
So many men swept out
And buildings too
That’s what a two story wave of molasses will do
It’s a short ride
On the dark tide
In a suffocating candy glaze
Sorry you came, sorry you tried
Sorry you had to find the sweetest way to die
Sorry you came, sorry you tried
Sorry you had to find the sweetest
So now you’re immersed
Struggling makes it worse
They were carried away in a syrup brown
Back in 1919 Boston town
Sorry you came, sorry you tried
Sorry you had to find the sweetest way to die
Sorry you came, sorry you tried
Sorry you had to find the sweetest way to die
Sugar, there is
Sugar, there is something
Sugar, there is something you don’t see every day
Sugar, there is
Sugar, there is something
Sugar, there is something you don’t see every day
Sugar, there is
Sugar, there is something
Sugar, there is something you don’t see every day
Sugar, there is
Sugar, there is something
Sugar, there is something you don’t see every day
