[Verse 1]
A Thirty miles on the GulfC Stream
I Dhear the south wind moan A
The bridges getting lower C
The Dshrimp boats coming home A
The old man down in the QuarCter
DSlowly turns his head A
Takes a sip from his Cwhiskey bottle
AndD this is what he said A
[Chorus]
I was Aborn in the rain on the CPontchartrain
UnderDneath the Louisiana moon A
I don't mind the strain of a Churricane
They Dcome around every June E
The Ahigh black water, a Cdevil's daughter
She's hard,D she's cold and she's Amean
But nobody taught her, it Gtakes a lot of water
To Dwash away New Orleans A
[Verse 2]
AMan came down from ChiCcago
He gonna Dset that levee right A
He says, "it needs to be at least Cthree feet higher
It Dwon't make it through the night" A
But the old man down in the QuarCter
He said D"don't you listen to that boy A
The water be down by the Cmorning
And he'll be Dback to Illinois" A
[Chorus]
I was Aborn in the rain on the CPontchartrain
UnderDneath the Louisiana moon A
I don't mind the strain of a Churricane
They Dcome around every June E
The Ahigh black water, a Cdevil's daughter
She's hard,D she's cold and she's Amean
But nobody taught her, it Gtakes a lot of water
To Dwash away New Orleans A
