Floating in the lower nine
|
Waiting for a boat to throw me a line
|
See my Stella smile
|
Sitting on the roof eating alligator pie
|
First day the water rise
|
Second day the sun is high
|
Third day Stella cried cause night times dark as a dead man's eye's
|
|
Tell me when help is gonna come
|
Stella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song?
|
|
Morning ride on by thank lord everybody's alright
|
Don't mean to throw us a second line
|
The devil broke the levy and left us here to die
|
|
Stella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song?
|
|
All the things we know and
|
Everything we hoped for
|
All the things we wanted
|
Everything that was sure
|
Now there is a scar
|
Where the old men used to be
|
The corner store and market
|
Where Stella used to sing to me
|
|
Grace is all I'm asking
|
When will grace return
|
Grace is all I'm asking
|
|
Remember how I feel in those days of the summertime
|
Then Stella smiled, she said
|
Stella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song?
|
|
Tell me lord when help is gonna come
|
Daddy when you gonna put me in a song?
