Katrina Songtext / Lyric

Katrina blew like nothing before - li'l Liza Jane

Her mighty power hit our shore - li'l Liza Jane



Cold black water reached the sky - li'l Liza Jane

When the hurricane swept the waves up high - li'l Liza Jane



Ray Nagin said I will be straight - li'l Liza Jane

The water's rising - evacuate - li'l Liza Jane



When the levee breaks the city will drown - li'l Liza Jane

Better save your ass and leave this town - li'l Liza Jane



Oh dear Liza - li'l Liza Jane...



Take a plane take a train or ride your car - li'l Liza Jane

If you're sick, if you're poor, you won't get so far - li'l Liza Jane



The poor down here and the rich on the hill - li'l Liza Jane

Better run for your life or you may get killed - li'l Liza Jane






The winds blew fast - the winds blew strong - li'l Liza Jane

Destroyed our houses all along - li'l Liza Jane



In the lower ninth ward I raised my family - li'l Liza Jane

Now our home is down at the bottom of the sea - li'l Liza Jane



Oh dear Liza - li'l Liza Jane...



Salty water everywhere - li'l Liza Jane

From the Mississippi river to Jackson Square - li'l Liza Jane



The president and congress in DC - li'l Liza Jane

Don't care about us poor people way down here - li'l Liza Jane



The home of the brave and the land of the free - li'l Liza Jane

Still a long way to go to equality - li'l Liza Jane



Money rules and if you ain't got none - li'l Liza Jane

You're out in the jungle on your own - li'l Liza Jane



Oh dear Liza - li'l Liza Jane...
