Lyrics

KATRINA BROUGHT THE WATER

Oh Katrina brought the water
To the streets of New Orleans
Oh Katrina brought the water
To the streets of New Orleans
To the shores of Mississippi
And to the cryin eyes of me

So many dead refrigerators
Laid out in the street
Like an alabaster graveyard hey yeah
So many dead refrigerators
Laid out in the street
When the water cut the power
It rotted all of their milk and meat

Oh my brother’s gone to Houston
Lord so many have moved away
Oh my brother’s gone to Houston
Lord so many have moved away
All my friends and kin are scattered
But my folks is gonna stay

I pray to God up in heaven
That there’ll be no more hurricanes
Have mercy now
Whoa I pray to God in heaven
That there’ll be no more hurricanes
Cause New Orleans is cryin
And her skies they look like rain
Oh yeah now
Oh her skies look just rain baby hey yeah
And her skies now they look just like rain
Hey yeah yeah just like rain baby
Just like rain baby
Just like rain baby rain baby rain baby
Rain rain rain yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
It look just like rain baby
Hey yeah
Look just like rain
