The Battle Of New Orleans
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hold now, the water rising
Coming as the storm arrives
Katrina, come to sink the city
Bust the levee a hundred wide
Hold now
Don't break the levee down
Some come to save the city
Ruin and rage keep pouring down
Flood born of blood and pity
The angel of death soon hear me now
Hold now
Don't break the levee down
Who now will take
The battle of New Orleans?
Climb toward the roofs and shelter
Raise your arms to the sky
Women, children, mothers, daughters
Fathers, sons done left behind
Hold now
Don't break the levee down
War between God and man
Man and man with world no end
Oh, man he chose to build a city
Of sinful mind
God pulled it in
Hold now
Don't break the levee down
Who now will take?
The battle of New Orleans
