I think Ally is right in the middle of the area worst affected by
the floods. Anybody heard from her?

Power is off to 12,000 homes, I imagine a lot of the phone junction boxes are under the water by now, so no net and few phones, water levels higher than the 'Great Cockermouth Flood' I think I remember singing about...
Maybe she'll have a song about it too!

Waist deep in the big muddy?
When we in Lewes were severely flooded in 2000, the song which kept hammering in my head was "Five Foot High and Rising". Later, when Boscastle's turn came, I was very moved by the determination and optimism which they regularly expressed with "The Mary Ellen Carter".

Row row row your boat
Gently up the street...

Dirty British coaster with a salt caked smoke stack
Butting up the High Road in the mad November days...

The water is wide
I cannot cross o'er
And neither have I wings to fly;
Build for me a boat
That will carry two
And both shall cross
My true love and I.


The Great Storm is Over
(c) Bob Franke

The thunder and lightening gave voice to the night
The little small child cried out in her fright
Hush little baby a story I will tell
Of a love that has vanquished the powers of hell

Chorus

Hallelujah the great storm is over
Lift up your wings and fly
Hallelujah the great storm over
Lift up your wings and fly
