Thirty miles off the Gulf Stream
I hear the south wind moan
Bridges getting lower
Shrimp boats coming home
But the old man down in the quarter
Slowly turns his head
Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle
And this is what he said
I was born in the rain on a train
Underneath the moon
I don’t the a hurricane
around June
the devil’s daughter
She’s hard she’s she’s mean
But nobody her
a Orleans
A man came down from Chicago
He’s set that right
He said, it at feet higher
Or won’t it the night
But the old man down in the quarter
don’t you listen that boy
water’ll down by the morning
And he’ll back Illinois
I was born in the rain on a train
Underneath the moon
I don’t the a hurricane
around June
the devil’s daughter
She’s hard she’s she’s mean
But nobody her
a Orleans
Thirty miles off the Gulf Stream
I hear the south wind moan
Bridges getting lower
shrimp boat’s coming home
But the old man down in the quarter
Slowly turns his head
Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle and
This is what he said
I was born in the rain on a train
Underneath the moon
I don’t the a hurricane
around June
the devil’s daughter
She’s hard she’s she’s mean
But nobody her
a Orleans
I was born in the rain on a train
Underneath a moon
I don’t the a hurricane
around June
the devil’s daughter
She’s hard she’s she’s mean
But nobody her
a Orleans
Nobody her
a Orleans
