This City

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:

[Treme: Music From The HBO Original Series]This city won't wash away

This city won't ever drown

Blood in the water and hell to pay

Sky turned gray when the pain rained downDoesn't matter, let come what may

I ain't ever going to leave this town

This city won't wash away

This city wont' ever drown.Ain't the river or the wind to blame

As everybody around here knows.

Nothing holding back Pontchatrain

Except a prayer and a promise's ghostThis town's digging our graves

In solid marble above the ground

Maybe our bones will wash away

This city won't ever drownThis city won't ever die

Just as long as our heart be strong

Like a second line stepping high

Raising hell as we roll along

Gentilly to Vieux Carre

Lower 9, Central City, Uptown

Singing Jockamo fee naneThis city won't ever drown.Don't matter cause there ain't no way

I'm ever going to leave this town.

This city won't wash away,

This city won't ever drown.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
