Emmylou Harris - New Orleans Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • My Lord how the rains came down
  • The waters made a mighty sound
  • When the levees broke that day
  • Washin' all those souls away
  • The whole world stood to watch us drown
  • But we took it to a higher ground
  • It takes more than a hurricane
  • To empty out the Pontchartrain
  • Long ago we broke the chains
  • In New Orleans New Orleans
  • When Brother Bill and Sister Nell
  • Are singing like a ringing bell
  • Then you'll know all is well
  • In New Orleans New Orleans
  • Bring it all, fire and flood
  • Fill the rivers up with mud
  • To cut and run ain't in our blood
  • We are New Orleans
  • So baby let the life roll on
  • The blues were made to make us strong
  • We're walkin' in a brighter day
  • Nothin' can get in our way
  • The whole world stood to watch us drown
  • But we took it to a higher ground
