French Quarter, quarter to four
The town is empty like a nuclear war
The levee broke on Pontchartrain
I'm feeling blue like John Coltrane
Oh its fine baby
Oh I swear its fine, lover
Carpetbagger tried to fix my house
Low baller tried to put me out
At least I got my gospel stone
My house fell into the swamp
Well I need somebody to help me out
I've lost it all but I've got my health
You, you oughta know
You've been kicking me around
And I don't want to lose my own home
It ain't no joke; I was raised in this town
The south is in my blood
Its in the mud, they were clearing out my house
But I teared it all down to the stud, all this love
Is what's fixing my house, fixing up my house
I ain't no refugee, I'm a person can't you see
Lord I'm humbled from what I see
Oh you are the one that can build me up
I've lost it all but I've got your health
You, you oughta know, they've been kicking me around
And I still don't want to leave my own home, it ain't no joke
I was born in this town; the south is in my blood
Its in the mud, they're clearing down my house
And tearing everything down to the stud
All this love, is gonna fix up my house; fix up my house, hey hey!
Oh you, you oughta know, I've lost everything
But I still have my soul, and my home, I believe in you
You, you oughta know, I've been kicked around
But no way I'm gonna give up my home, it ain't no joke
I been born in this town, the south is in my blood
Its in the mud, you'll be clearing out my house
You're ripping everything down to the stud, all this love, is gonna fix up my house
Fix up my house!
