| [00:15.099] |
Thirty miles on the Gulf Stream |
| [00:18.097] |
I hear the south wind moan |
| [00:21.838] |
The bridges getting lower |
| [00:25.385] |
Shrimp boats coming home |
| [00:29.092] |
The old man down in the Quarter |
| [00:32.793] |
Slowly turns his head |
| [00:37.110] |
Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle |
| [00:40.243] |
And this is what he said |
| [00:43.740] |
I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain |
| [00:47.315] |
Underneath the Louisiana moon |
| [00:51.294] |
I don't mind the strain of a hurricane |
| [00:54.869] |
They come around every June |
| [00:58.695] |
High black water, a devil's daughter |
| [01:01.975] |
She's hard, she's cold and she's mean |
| [01:06.028] |
But nobody taught her it takes a lot of water |
| [01:09.642] |
To wash away New Orleans |
| [01:15.424] |
|
| [01:16.431] |
Man came down from Chicago |
| [01:18.561] |
He gonna set that levee right |
| [01:22.225] |
He says, "It needs to be at least three feet higher |
| [01:26.202] |
It won't make it through the night" |
| [01:29.776] |
But the old man down in the Quarter |
| [01:33.295] |
He said don't you listen to that boy |
| [01:37.427] |
The water be down by the morning |
| [01:40.635] |
And he'll be back to Illinois |
| [01:44.716] |
