Alligator Pie |
Floating in the lower nine |
Waiting for a boat to throw me a line |
See my Stella smile |
Sitting on a roof eating alligator pie |
First day the water rise |
Second day the sun is high |
Third day Stella cries |
Cause night time’s dark as a dead man’s eyes |
Lord |
Tell me when help is gonna come |
Stella said, «Daddy when you gonna put me in a song?» |
Storm went right on by |
Thanked the Lord everybody’s alright |
Don’t mean to throw off a second line |
But the devil broke the levee and left us here to die |
Stella said, «Daddy when you gonna put me in a song?» |
Need a dance hall to get y’all down |
Need a dance hall to get y’all down |
All the things we know and |
Everything we hope for |
All the things we wanted |
Everything that was sure |
Now there is a scar where |
The old men used to be |
The corner store and market |
Where Stella used to sing to me |
Grace is all I’m asking |
When will grace return? |
Grace is all I’m asking |
Remember how it feels |
Lazy days in the summertime |
Then my Stella smiled |
Stella said, «Daddy when you gonna put me in a song?» |
Stella said, «Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?» |
She said, «Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?» |
She said, «Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?» |
Tell me, Lord, when help is gonna come |
She said, «Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?» |
