The Band of Heathens - Hurricane

Thirty miles on the ^CGulf Stream, I ^Dhear the south wind ^Ammoan The bridge is gettin' ^Clower, all the ^Dshrimp boats comin' h^Amome The old man down in the ^CQuarter, ^Dslowly turns his ^Amhead Takes a sip from his ^Cwhiskey bottle, and,^D this is what he s^Amaid

I was born in the rain on the ^CPontchartrain Under^Dneath the Louisiana m^Amoon I don't mind the strain of a ^Churricane They ^Dcome around every J^Eune The ^Amhigh black water, a ^Cdevil's daughter She's ^Dhard, she's cold, and she's m^Amean But, nobody taught her, it ^Ctakes a lot of water To ^Dwash away New Or^Amleans

A man came down from Chi^Ccago, gonna ^Dset that levee r^Amight He said, it needs to be at least a-^Cthree feet higher Won't ^Dmake it through the ^Amnight m ^{C D A} But, the old man down in the Quarter, said, don't you listen to that boy The water be down by the ^Cmornin', and he'll be ^Dback to Illi^Amnois
