New Orleans

I heard the wind roaring strong
I felt the rain pouring down
I was forced to leave town
My home, my beloved home, New Orleans
I saw the water rising up
I saw my people getting trapped
I feel the pain, the tears, the helpless cry
Oh my home, my destroyed home, New Orleans
I miss the street car named desire
I crave the taste of red bean and rice
I dreamed about the beautiful avenue St. Charles
I could still hear the Mardi Gras cheers
How I love my home, my sweet home, New Orleans
Don't know what I should do without Jazz
Don't know when I'll have seafood gumbo next
Don't know how to restore the Audubon Park
But one thing I do know for sure
One thing
That I love this town so much
That I miss my home so hard
That we'll rebuid this city somehow
And we'll help each other this time
Cause it's our home, our sweet, sweet home
New Orleans
