Thirty miles on the Gulf Stream...
I hear the south wind moan...
The bridge is getting lower...
The shrimp boat's 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 ev'ry June...

The 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 said, "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 ev'ry June...

The 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...

Yeah...
