[00:07.02]My Lord how the rains came down
[00:12.01]
[00:14.39]The waters made a mighty sound
[00:16.65]
[00:22.14]When the levees broke that day
[00:24.33]
[00:29.83]Washin' all those souls away
[00:31.70]
[00:33.71]The whole world stood to watch us drown
[00:36.52]
[00:37.14]But we took it to a higher ground
[00:39.33]
[00:43.46]It takes more than a hurricane
[00:45.58]
[00:47.77]To empty out the Pontchartrain
[00:49.89]
[00:53.14]Long ago we broke the chains
[00:55.52]In New Orleans New Orleans
[00:59.52]When Brother Bill and Sister Nell
[01:01.46]
[01:03.14]Are singing like a ringing bell
[01:05.21]
[01:06.90]Then you'll know all is well
[01:10.52]In New Orleans New Orleans
[01:13.18]
[01:30.55]Bring it all, fire and flood
[01:33.74]Fill the rivers up with mud
[01:37.55]To cut and run ain't in our blood
[01:39.80]
[01:41.46]We are New Orleans
[01:46.09]So baby let the life roll on
[01:49.40]
[01:53.28]The blues were made to make us strong
[01:56.15]
[02:00.72]We're walkin' in a brighter day
[02:03.28]
[02:08.41]Nothin' can get in our way
[02:09.97]
[02:12.79]The whole world stood to watch us drown
[02:16.79]But we took it to a higher ground
[02:18.66]
[02:22.66]It takes more than a hurricane
[02:27.41]To empty out the Pontchartrain
[02:29.03]
[02:30.41]Long ago we broke the chains
[02:32.53]
[02:34.04]In New Orleans New Orleans
[02:37.19]
[02:38.24]Long ago we broke the chains
