Am C Dadd9add4 Am
Thirty miles on the Gulf Stream, I hear the south wind moan
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
The bridge is gettin' lower, the shrimp boats comin' home
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
The old man down in the Quarter, slowly turns his head
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle and, this is what he said
[Chorus]
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain, underneath the Loosiana moon
I dAmon't mind the strain of a hCurricane, they Dcome around every EJune
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
The high black water, a devil's daughter, she's hard, she's cold, and she's mean
But Amnobody taught her, it Gtakes a lot of water, to Dwash away New OrlAmeans Am

But the old man down in the Quarter, he said don't you listen to that boy
Am C Dadd9add4 Am Am
The water be down by the mornin', and he'll be back to Illinois
[Chorus]

The high black water, a devil's daughter, she's hard, she's cold, and she's mean
But Amnobody taught her, it Gtakes a lot of water, to Dwash away New OrAmleans
