I Miss My Darlin' New Orleans

I Miss Our Darlin New Awlins Some call us New Orleeens, Katrina she came and made a nightmare Out of the land of dreams Scattered out, all over the country Just the clothes upon our backs I miss our Darlin New Awlins, I miss my land of dreams. Did you hear there's folks at the Superdome, They couldn't evacuate. The Mayor he warned us all to leave, But now it's just too late. Mother's and baby and Grand old Ladies Were there when the roof gave way Our Darlin New Awlins, was facing its judgement day. Then at the very last minute, Katrina she moved to the east She slammed into the Mississippi Gulf Coast A fearsome and mighty beast. A wall of water 30 feet high crushed everything in it's way Our Darlin New Awlins, once again dodged a bullet that day. (Solos') The Wind began to howl, the trees began to crack The weatherman said the Eye had missed us but It felt like Katrina was right on our back The Dawn grew closer the wind died down And the day took over the night The worst had passed us in our Darlin New Awlins Everything would be alright The Next day we listened, to the radioman They said once again we missed the big one They were bragging 'bout the Evacuation plan Then the telephone rang and the man on the phone Said the levy had busted and to everyones surprise Inside our Darlin New Orleans, the water began to rise. The Water rose all day, rose on into the night Folks they scurried up into their attics Chopped through the roof to save their life. 10,000 people were rescued off of their roofs Fishing boats, and Coast Guard choppers All heroes they became, but our Darlin New Awlins Was never gonna be the same.
