HURRICANE

30 miles out in the Gulf Stream
I can hear those south winds moan
Bridges are lookin lower,
Shrimp boats hurryin' home
The old man down in the quarter
Slowly turns to me
Took another sip of whiskey
And he looked at me and said
CHORUS:
I was born on the rain of the Ponchatrain
Beneath that Louisiana Moon
Don't mind the strain of the hurricane,
She comes 'round every June.
And high black water
She's the devil’s daughter,
She's hard and she's cold, and she's mean
Nobody's taught her that it
Takes a lot of water
To wash away New Orleans
A man come from Chicago,
Gonna set that levy right
He said it's got to be 3 feet high up
Or it won't make it thru the night
The old man down in the quarter
Said don't you listen to that boy
The water be down by mornin' son,
He'll be on his way to Illinois
TO CHORUS:
