Hurricane Angel
Ellis Paul

On the day the levee broke

The water did rise, The flowers did choke

I sat in my living room, Lit one last smoke

Then I watched it all drift away


Now my credit card's ringing up at thirty percent

There's a man in India wondering where the money went

But I can't pay


So I sat on my roof In Lake Pontchartrain

Singing woe to my chimney Singing woe to the rain

A stranger came by I never caught his name

He said he's rowing to the Rio Grande


Air Force One a blue streak in the sky

Mr. President, You can't afford to lie

Cause I can't afford to pay


Hurricane Angel I'm lifting my eyes over Baton Rouge

Lift up your wings let me hear your voice singing

Can you turn these black skies to blue again?


I'm laying on the floor of a trailer at night

with sixteen refugees waiting on daylight

I can't pay


I caught a flatbed ford up to Baton Rouge

with four worn out souls and one corkscrew


You can drown New Orleans but you can't drown the blues

so bartender pour away Exxon's having one hell of a year

three bucks a gallon man they're making it clear that I can't pay.


Lord, Lord, Lord

We haven't spoken in many a day

I got myself in trouble down in the Ninth Ward

thought I'd send a prayer your way


On my windowsill's

A stack of insurance bills

A man in Delaware says I can't have the pills until I can pay


Hurricane Angel I'm lifting my eyes over Baton Rouge

Lift up your wings let me hear your voice singing

Can you turn these black skies to blue again?


I'm laying on the floor of a trailer at night

with sixteen refugees waiting on daylight

I can't pay


On the day the levee broke

The water did rise and the flowers did choke

I sat in my living room lit one last smoke

and I watched it all drift away
