the heavyweights brass band - this city lyrics
[verse 1]
this city won’t wash away
this city won’t ever drown
blood in the water and h-ll to pay
sky turn grey and the pain rain down
doesn’t matter let it come what may
i ain’t ever gonna leave this town
this city won’t wash away
this city won’t ever drown
[verse 2]
ain’t the river or the wind to blame
as 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 will wash away
this city won’t ever drown
[verse 3]
this city won’t ever die
just as long as her heart beats strong
like a second line steppin’ high’
raisin’ h-ll as we roll along
gentilly to vieux carre
lower nine, central city, uptown
singin’ jock-a-mo 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
