Hurricane

Thirty miles on the Gulf Stream

  • 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
  • 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 says
  • 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
  • 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
