Hurricane

[00:13.57] 30 miles off the Gulf Stream, I hear the south wind moan
[00:19.87] Bridges gettin' lower, the shrimp boats coming home
[00:26.05] But the old man down in the Quarter slowly turns his head
[00:33.36] Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle and this is what he said
[00:40.76] I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain
[00:44.56] Underneath the Louisiana moon
[00:47.46] I don't mind the strain of a hurricane, it comes around every June
[00:53.82] The high black water, the devil's daughter
[00:56.99] She's hard, and she's cold and she's mean
[01:00.43] But nobody taught her, it takes a lot of water
[01:04.05] To wash away New Orleans
[01:06.39]
[01:20.54] A man came down from Chicago, he's gonna set that levee right
[01:26.78] He said, "It needs to be at least three feet higher
[01:30.34] Or it won't make it through the night"
[01:33.32] But the old man down in the Quarter
[01:36.54] Said, "Don't you listen to that boy
[01:40.30] The water'll be down by the morning, and he'll be back to Illinois"
[01:46.78] And I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain
[01:49.68] Underneath the Louisiana moon
[01:53.72] I don't mind the strain of a hurricane, it comes around every June
[02:00.23] The high black water, the devil's daughter
[02:03.42] She's hard, and she's cold, and she's mean
[02:06.71] But nobody taught her it takes a lot of water to wash away New Orleans
[02:26.79] 30 miles off the Gulf Stream, I hear the south wind moan
[02:32.51] Bridges gettin' lower, the shrimp boats coming home

[03:07.08] The high black water, the devil's daughter
[03:10.59] She's hard, and she's cold, and she's mean
[03:14.00] But nobody taught her, it takes a lot of water
[03:17.43] To wash away New Orleans

[03:33.32] The high black water, the devil's daughter
[03:36.68] She's hard, and she's cold, and she's mean
[03:39.88] But nobody taught her, it takes a lot of water
[03:43.56] To wash away New Orleans
[03:46.73] And nobody taught her, it takes a lot of water
[03:50.34] To wash away New Orleans
