lyrics

New Orleans Going Down

Sound the warning
No one hears
Early morning
Water mixed with tears
Children wondering
Why their mamas cry
High wind and thunder
Lightning in the sky

2’ and rising on Bourbon Street
Watch your step or you may drown
Better count your blessings before you leave
The great city of New Orleans
Going down

On the rooftop
Higher ground
You see a helicopter
Better flag it down
Rising above it
Old life left below
Stuck in that shelter
Nowhere left to go

4’ and rising on Esplanade
Better grab hold of something before you drown
Gotta count your blessings if you can get out safe
The great city of New Orleans
Going down

6’ and rising in the Lower Ninth Ward
Swim like hell before you drown
Trying to count my blessing but oh my lord
Great city of New Orleans
Going down
