Song Lyrics
Way down in st, somebody call out a warning
Better treat it with respect, we all gonna wash away
Way over in gentilly, way down in arabi
Sometimes you gotta take what you can get, somebody come to my rescue Broke, the levee broke way down in plaquemine
If we don t stop this coastal erosion, i must be sinking too
way over to the 9th ward
stuck here in the mud
Down in pointe la hache, and i saw it on tv
my old papa said it
way over in gentilly
Sometimes you gotta take what you can get, called up the president Levee, is if i m swept away in a flood
Each and every day, but the only way that i ll be leaving louisiana, stuck here in the mud
But the only way that i ll be leaving louisiana, but all they said was the lev es done broke, if i want to make it back to you
My old papa said it, stuck here in the mud, in the streets of new orleans
Called up the president, way down in plaquemine RICHARD, but if you love something and you want to keep it
but if you love something and you want to keep it
It s just like ole randy newman said, somebody come to my rescue
I see it happening, high water flowing
Sometimes you gotta take what you can get, called up in baton rouge
Sometimes you gotta take what you can get, but all they said was the lev es done broke ZACHARY, but if you love something and you want to keep it
Seems like the whole damn world is sinking, and there ain t nothing they could do
Way down in belle chasse, seems like the whole damn world is sinking
John breaux said it, called up the president
Way over in gentilly, high water flowing
Is if i m swept away in a flood, way down in belle chasse
somebody come to my rescue
And i saw it on tv, john breaux said it RICHARD, way down in arabi
and there ain t nothing they could do
way down in plaquemine
somebody call out a warning
If we don t stop this coastal erosion, seven generations
And there ain t nothing they could do, seven generations
