Katrina blew like nothing before, li'l Liza Jane
Her mighty power hit our shore, li'l Liza Jane
Cold black water reached the sky, li'l Liza Jane
When the hurricane swept the waves up high, li'l Liza Jane
Ray Nagin said I will be straight, li'l Liza Jane
The water's rising, evacuate, li'l Liza Jane
When the levee breaks the city will drown, li'l Liza Jane
Better save your ass and leave this town, li'l Liza Jane
Oh dear Liza, li'l Liza Jane...
Take a plane take a train or ride your car, li'l Liza Jane
If you're sick, if you're poor, you won't get so far, li'l Liza Jane
The poor down here and the rich on the hill, li'l Liza Jane
Better run for your life or you may get killed, li'l Liza Jane
The winds blew fast, the winds blew strong, li'l Liza Jane
Destroyed our houses all along, li'l Liza Jane
In the lower ninth ward I raised my family, li'l Liza Jane
Now our home is down at the bottom of the sea, li'l Liza Jane
Oh dear Liza, li'l Liza Jane...
Salty water everywhere, li'l Liza Jane
From the Mississippi river to Jackson Square, li'l Liza Jane
The president and congress in DC, li'l Liza Jane
Don't care about us poor people way down here, li'l Liza Jane
The home of the brave and the land of the free, li'l Liza Jane
Still a long way to go to equality, li'l Liza Jane
Money rules and if you ain't got none, li'l Liza Jane
You're out in the jungle on your own, li'l Liza Jane
Oh dear Liza, li'l Liza Jane
