lyrics

this old horn it sounds worn like it done every single morn
since my momma and my daddy skipped town
I’ll sing some songs and play the blues ‘cause I’ve got nothing left to do
‘til supper when that Mississippi sun go down
when she came up to me fell down to my feet
crying “Louis, don’t you leave me alone”
I gotta go I gotta eat but you’re welcome to take a seat
she stepped inside as I went down to the store
running home to beat the rain she was gone before I came
back to find out that she had robbed me of all I own
some times at night laying ‘neath the moonlight
her cries carry on the winds as they groan
Katrina why do you wail and moan
you took my last dollar left me no place to go

maybe I broke her poor heart
she might not have paid me enough mind
maybe she had it in for me from the start
I don’t know
Katrina you were a friend of mine
I can’t sleep I can’t eat but I’m standing on my feet
and I’m wondering what I’m to do now
I’ll play some songs and sing the blues because I’ve got nothing else to do
since Katrina came through my home town
and if she comes back this way what am I supposed to say
she had left me so broke down and lo
