Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle

And this is what he said
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
INSTRUMENTAL
The old man down in the Quarter

Slowly turns his head

Takes a drink from his whiskey bottle

And this is what he said
lwas 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
Nobody taught her,

it takes a lot of water

To wash away

New Orleans .....
