This city won't wash away This city won't ever drown Blood in the water, and Hell to pay Sky tear open and pain rain down Doesn't matter let come what may I ain't ever gonna leave this town This city won't wash away This city won't ever drown Ain't the river or the wind to blame As everybody around here knows Nothing holding back Pontchartrain 'cept a prayer and a promise's ghost This town's digging our graves In solid marble above the ground Maybe our bones will wash away But this city won't ever drown This city won't ever die Just as long as our heart beats strong Like a second line steppin' high Raisin' hell as we roll along Gentille to Vieux Carre Lower 9, Central City, Uptown Singing jockamo fee nané This city won't ever drown Doesn't matter 'cause there ain't no way I'm ever gonna leave this town This city won't wash away This city won't ever drown.
