The Destruction of New Orleans

Good people, by now you have heard

What in New Orleans has gone down

An American city has overturned

& there many good people have drowned

Well just imagine, good people, the ruin

How terrible is the wrath of the Lord

With the water from the lake down to Bourbon

From Canal to the Lower Ninth Ward

Two lovers, they are peacefully lying

In a peace not a soul could disturb

But they cried out "my dear god, we are dying"

But the president seems not to have heard

Well just imagine, good people, the ruin

Of the ones that we choose to ignore

With the water from the lake down to Bourbon

From Canal to the Lower Ninth Ward
