๐ Lyrics
Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?
Floatin' in the lower nine
Waitin' for a boat to throw me a line
See my Stella smile
Sittin' on a roof eatin' alligator pie
First day the water rise
Second day the sun is high
Third day Stella cries
'Cause night time's dark as a dead man's eyes
Yeah, Lord, Lord, yes
Tell me when help is gonna come
Oh, yeah yeah, yes
Stella said Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?
I wanna run inside
Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?
Yes, I'm alright!
Daddy, when you gonna put me when I'm in the
Storm went right on by
Thanked the Lord everybody's alright
Don't mean to throw off a second line
But the Devil broke the levee and left us here to die
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Devil broke the levee
Stella said, "Whoa, daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"
Let my people die
Let my people die
Said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"
Let my people die
Tell her, said, "We gon' die now"
"Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"
Yeah, ah
Like a dance hall to get y'all down
Like a dance hall to get y'all down
Like a dance hall to get y'all down
All the things we know and everything we hope for
All the things we wanted
Everything that was sure
Now there is a scar where the old men used to be
The corner store and market where Stella used to sing to me
Grace is all I'm asking
When will Grace return?
Grace is all I'm asking
Remember how it feels alright
Lazy days in the summertime
Then my Stella smiled
Stella said Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?
Oh, yeah-yeah, oh
Stella said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"
Oh, no
That's alright
Stella said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
"Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah
"Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"
Oh, hell
Sorry daddy
"Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"
Thank you very much
Floatin' in the lower nine
Waitin' for a boat to throw me a line
See my Stella smile
Sittin' on a roof eatin' alligator pie
First day the water rise
Second day the sun is high
Third day Stella cries
'Cause night time's dark as a dead man's eyes
Yeah, Lord, Lord, yes
Tell me when help is gonna come
