Karaoké Hurricane Laine Hardy

Thirty miles on the Gulf Stream

I hear the South wind moan

The bridges gettin' lower

Shrimp boats comin' 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

Don't mind the strain of a hurricane

They come around every June

The high black water

The 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

Needs to be at least three feet higher

It won't make it through the night

The old man down in the Quarter said Don't you listen to that boy

The water be down by the mornin' and he'll be back to Illinois

I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain underneath the Louisiana Moon

Don't mind the strain of a hurricane

They come around every June

The high black water

The 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
