lyrics

Hong Kong in nineteen seventy-one
August the winds began
Far out in the South China Sea
Moving northwest with no guarantee

She was christened the sweetest Rose
the prettiest of names they could propose
Her terrible rage left 5000 homeless
The violent force of Typhoon Rose

On the sixteenth she took a hundred lives
The violent wind she drives
Three hundred boats and ships she takes
Too many a widow she liked to make

She was christened the sweetest Rose
the prettiest of names they could propose
Her terrible rage left 5000 homeless
The violent force of Typhoon Rose

Those of us there that day
The strongest wind in ten long years
We talk about those times today
The flower that tossed and broke the piers

Hong Kong in nineteen seventy-one
August the winds began
No one there was safe that day
The Hong Kong people were made to pay

She was christened the sweetest Rose
the prettiest of names they could propose
Her terrible rage left 5000 homeless
The violent force of Typhoon Rose
