Verse 1Oh Listen Today To The Story I Tell,Tis Sadened With Tear Dimmed Eyes,Of A Dreadful Cyclone That Came This Way,And Blew Our Schoolhouse Away.ChorusRye Cove, Rye Cove,The Place Of My Childhood And Home,Where In Life's Early Morn I Once Loved To Roam,But Now It's So Silent And Lone.Verse 2When The Great Storm Appeared It Darkened The Air,And The Lightning Flashed Over The Sky,Then The Children All Cried, Don't Take Us Away,But Spare Us To Go Back Home.ChorusRye Cove, Rye Cove,The Place Of My Childhood And Home,Where In Life's Early Morn I Once Loved To Roam,But Now It's So Silent And Lone.Verse 3Oh The Mothers So Sad And Fathers The Same,They Came To This Horrible Scene,Then Searching And Crying Each Found Their Own Child,Dying On A Pillow Of Stone.Verse 4Lord Give Us A Home Far Beyond The Blue SkiesWhere Storms And Cyclones Are UnknownAnd There Will We Stand And Gladly Clasp HandsWith Our Children In Their Heavenly HomesChorusRye Cove, Rye Cove,The Place Of My Childhood And Home,Where In Life's Early Morn I Once Loved To Roam,But Now It's So Silent And Lone.
