Great, High Wind that Blew the Low Post Down, The

DESCRIPTION: "It blew in the valley and it blew on the hill, And it blew till the sun and the moon stood still... It's the great, high wind that blew the low post down." It's so strong it blows "the whiskers off the rye," "buttons off the sky," and stirs chicken soup
