Gulf Coast Blues

Down in New Orleans, you know it’s a sin, you know it’s a shame
Down in New Orleans, you know it’s a sin, you know it’s a shame
How the levees blew when Katrina came

From the Dome to Houston and from Houston to LA 
From the Superdome to Houston and from Houston to LA
There’s thousands of people just tryin’ to find a way

Creole driftwood just looking for a home 
Creole driftwood just looking for a home
Don’t nobody know how long they’re bound to roam

All along the Gulfcoast, just ruin and despair
All along the Gulfcoast, just ruin and despair
How many people noticed? How many people even care? 

Listen to the music, you’ve got to hear the music play
Listen to the music, you’ve got to hear the music play
Lord knows that music’s gonna lead you on your way

Down in New Orleans, you know it’s a sin, you know it’s a shame
Down in New Orleans, you know it’s a sin, you know it’s a shame
How the levees blew when Katrina came
