Daniel Kahn & The Painted Bird Song of New Orleans Lyrics

Good people, by now
You have heard, what in New Orleans has gone down

An American city has overturned
And there, many good people have drowned

Just imagine, good people, the ruin
How terrible is the wrath of the Lord
With the water from the lake down to Bourbon
From canal to the lower ninth ward

Two lovers are peacefully lying
In a peace not a soul could disturb

They cried out 'my dear God, we are dying'
But the president seems not to have heard

Just imagine, good people, the ruin
Of the ones that we choose to ignore
With the water from the lake down to Bourbon
From canal to the lower ninth ward
