Lyrics Merle Haggard - Stormy New Orleans

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

Instrumental................

Hey I'm singing about ole stormy New Orleans
A song about Louis Armstrong and Jimmie Rodgers dreams
Folks on Bourbon Street down where the black and the white folks meet
I'm cold and hungry and I got no rights - and bean's(?)
Singing about ole stormy New Orleans.
