All right.
The shrimp boat's coming home
The old man down in the corner
Slowly turns his head
Tastes the scent from his whiskey bottle
And this is what he said
I was born in the rain on a pointed train
Underneath the Louisiana moon
I don't mind the rain
I'm the strain of a hurricane
They come around every June
The hot black water
Her devil's daughter
She's hot, she's cold, and she's mean
Go by the toilet
It takes a lot of water
To wash away a new old age
The rain came down from Chicago
He's gonna set that levee right
He said
Needs to be at least three feet higher
And won't make it through the night
But the old man down in the corner
He said
Don't you listen to now, boy
The water be down by the morgue
And you'll be back to hell annoyed
Cause I was born in the rain on a pointed train
Underneath the Louisiana moon
I don't mind the rain
And you'll be back to hell annoyed
And come around every June
The hot black water
Her devil's daughter
She's hot, she's cold, and she's mean
Go by the toilet
It takes a lot of water
To wash away a new old age
To wash away a new old age
Thirty miles in the Gulf Stream
I hear the south wind moan
The bridges are getting lower
The streets are getting lower
The shrimp boat's coming home
The old man down in the corner
Slowly turns, he said
Tastes the sand from his whiskey bottle
And this is what he said
I was born in the rain on a pointed train
Underneath the Louisiana moon
I don't mind the rain on a pointed train
Underneath the Louisiana moon
I don't mind the rain on a pointed train
And you'll be back to hell annoyed


And come around every June
The hot black water
Her devil's daughter
She's hot, she's cold, and she's mean
Go by the toilet
It takes a lot of water
To wash away a new old age
Go by the toilet
It takes a lot of water
To wash away a new old age
To wash away a new old age
To wash away a new old age
