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 'cause 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

Everybody around here knows

Nothin' holdin' back Ponchartrain

Except for a prayer and a promise's ghost

We just carry on diggin' our graves

In solid marble above the ground

Maybe our bones'll wash away

But this city won't ever drown

This city won't ever die

Just as long as her heart beats strong

Like a second line steppin' high

Raisin' hell as we roll along

Gentilly to the Vieux Carre

Lower Nine Central City Uptown

Singin' Jacamo fee-nah-nay

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
