Ain't nobody here to hear me sing the blues Water all up the house and in my shoes Snakes and things coming through the window screen Talkin' 'bout ole stormy New Orleans
Ain't nobody here to hear this poor boy cry Water up in the house about ankle high Everything in town is blown to smithereens I'm talkin' 'bout ole stormy New Orleans
Singing about ole stormy New Orleans Let's talk about Louis Armstrong and Jimmie Rodgers dreams Folks on Bourbon Street down where the black and the white folks meet Cold and hungry and I got no rights - that's mean I'm talkin' 'bout ole stormy New Orleans
