Alligator Pie

[00:21.96] Floatin' in the lower nine
[00:23.79] Waitin' for a boat to throw me a line
[00:25.57] See my Stella smile
[00:28.25] Sittin' on a roof eatin' alligator pie
[00:31.08] First day the water rise
[00:32.84] Second day the sun is high
[00:34.62] Third day Stella cries
[00:37.32] 'Cause night time's dark as a dead man's eyes
[00:39.28] Lord
[00:46.47] Tell me when help is gonna come
[00:54.84] Stella said Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?
[01:15.87] Storm went right on by
[01:16.46] Thanked the Lord everybody's alright
[01:19.25] Don't mean to throw off a second line
[01:21.00] But the Devil broke the levee and left us here to die
[01:31.06] Stella said Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?
[02:03.01] Like a dance hall to get y'all down
[02:05.77] Like a dance hall to get y'all down
[02:08.44] Like a dance hall to get y'all down
[02:24.28] All the things we know and everything we hope for
[02:29.71] All the things we wanted
[02:32.04] Everything that was sure
[02:34.72] Now there is a scar where the old men used to be
[02:39.31] The corner store and market where Stella used to sing to me
[02:43.96] Grace is all I'm asking
[02:46.66] When will Grace return?
[02:49.45] Grace is all I'm asking
[02:54.01] Remember how it feels
[02:56.77] Lazy days in the summertime
[02:59.52] Then my Stella smiled
[03:01.39] Stella said Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?
[03:34.43] Tell me, Lord, when help is gonna come
[03:47.82] She said Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?
[03:52.47]
