^AThirty miles out in the ^CGulf Stream I can he^Dar them South winds mo^Aan The ^Abridges are lookin' ^Clower ^DShrimp boats are hurryin' ^Ahome

I was ^Aborn in the rain by Lake ^CPonchartrain Under^Dneath the Louisiana ^AMoon And I ^Adon't mind the strain of a ^Churricane They ^Dcome around every ^EJune ^AHigh black water, a ^Cdevils daughter She's ^Dhard and she's cold, and she's ^Amean But ^Anobody's taught her that it ^Gtakes a lot of water To ^Dwash away ^ANew Orleans

A man came down from Chicago Gonna set that levee right It's got to be up about three feet higher Won't make it through the end of the night The old man down in the quarter Said don't you listen to that boy The water'll down by mornin', son And he'll be back on his way to Illinois Cause I was born in the rain by the Ponchartrain Underneath the Louisiana Moon And I don't mind the strain of a hurricane They come around every June High black water's like the devil's daughter She's hard and she's cold, and she's mean But we've finally taught her that it takes a lot of water To wash away New Orleans
