Hurricane
(专辑: In The Bayou - 2018)
Thirty miles on the
Gulf Stream I
hear the
South wind moan The
bridges getting lower, shrimp boats coming home The
old man down in the
Quarter slowly turns his head Takes a
sip from his whiskey bottle and this is what he said I
was born in the
rain on the
Pontchartrain Underneath the
Louisiana Moon I
don't mind the
strain of a
hurricane They come around every June The
high black water, a
devil's daughter She's hard, she's cold, and she's mean But nobody taught her it takes a
lot of water To wash away New Orleans Man came down from Chicago, he gonna set that levee right He said, "It needs to be at least three feet higher It won't make it through the
night" But the
old man down in the
Quarter He said, "Don't you listen to that boy The
water be down by the
morning And he'll be back to Illinois" I
was born in the
rain on the
Pontchartrain Underneath the
Louisiana Moon I
don't mind the
strain of a
hurricane They come around every June The
high black water, a
devil's daughter She's hard, she's cold, and she's mean But nobody taught her it takes a
lot of water To wash away New Orleans Thirty miles on the
Gulf Stream, I
hear the
South wind moan Bridges getting lower, shrimp boats coming home The
old man down in the
Quarter slowly turns his head Takes a
drink from his whiskey bottle and this is what he said I
was born in the
rain on the
Pontchartrain Underneath the
Louisiana Moon I
don't mind the
strain of a
hurricane They come around every June The
high black water, a
devil's daughter She's hard, she's cold, and she's mean But nobody taught her it takes a
lot of water To wash away New Orleans Nobody taught her it takes a
lot of water To wash away New Orleans
