New Orleans

My Lord how the rains came down

The waters made a mighty sound

When the levees broke that day

Washin' all those souls away

The whole world stood to watch us drown

But we took it to a higher groundIt takes more than a hurricane

To empty out the Pontchartrain

Long ago we broke the chains

In New Orleans New Orleans

When Brother Bill and Sister Nell

Are singing like a ringing bell

Then you'll know all is well

In New Orleans New OrleansBring it all, fire and flood

Fill the rivers up with mud

To cut and run ain't in our blood

We are New OrleansSo baby let the life roll on

The blues were made to make us strong

We're walkin' in a brighter day

Nothin' can get in our way

The whole world stood to watch us drown

But we took it to a higher ground
