Post subject: A Prophetic 1981 Song About Katrina |
  |
|
I used to listen to this song all the time growing up in Terrebonne Parish. I guess I never really believed it would come true one day.
"Hurricane"
By Leon Everette
30 miles out in the Gulf Stream I can hear those south winds moan
Bridges are lookin lower, shrimp boats hurryin’ home
The old man down in the quarter slowly turns to me
Took another drink of whiskey and he looked at me and said
Chorus:
I was born on the rain of the Ponchartrain beneath that Louisiana Moon
Don't mind the strain of the hurricane, she comes 'round every June
And high black water, she's the devils daughter, she's hard and she's cold, and she's mean
Nobody’s taught her that it takes a lot of water to wash away New Orleans
A man come down from Chicago, gonna set that levy right
He said it’s got to be 3 feet high up or it won’t make it thru the night
The old man down in the quarter said don’t you listen to that boy
The water be down by mornin’, son he’ll be on his way to Illinois
Chorus 2:
I was born on the rain of the Ponchartrain beneath that Louisiana Moon
Don't mind the strain of the hurricane, she comes 'round every June.
And high black water, she's the devils daughter, she's hard and she's cold, and she's mean
But we fin’lly taught her that it takes a lot of water to wash away New Orleans
Chorus

Is that the song they have been playing as a soundtrack to the news clip medley they have been airing all weekend?

Louisiana 1927
(Randy Newman)
What has happened down here, is the winds have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
It rained real hard, and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
The river rose all day, the river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright
The river had busted through clear down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away
Oh Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away
President Coolidge come down, in a railroad train
With his little fat man with a note pad in his hand
President say "little fat man, oh isn't it a shame,
What the river has done to this poor farmer's land"
Oh Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, you're trying to wash us away
Oh Louisiana, oh Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, oh Lord, they're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away

Whoever transcribed those lyrics needs to look at a fucking map of Louisiana. It's "Plaquemines" - as in the parish - not Placker Mine.
Probably a fucking yankee.
