KATRINA BROUGHT THE WATER    ( words and music by SCOTT DETWEILER)

Katrina brought the water to the streets of New Orleans

Katrina brought the water to the streets of New Orleans

To the shores of Mississippi

And to the cryin' eyes of me

 

So many dead refrigerators laid out in the street

So many dead refrigerators laid out in thestreet

When the water cut the power

It rotted all of their milk and meat

 

My brother's gone to Houston, so many moved away 

My brother's gone to Houston, so many moved away 

All my friends and kin are scattered

But my folks is gonna stay

 

I pray to God in heaven that there'll be no more hurricanes 

I pray to God in heaven that there'll be no more hurricanes

Cause New Orleans is cryin

And her skies, they look like rain
