Текст песни: Levee Town (feat. John Hiatt) + перевод

Sunlight blinking through the cypress knees

Lays shadow steps in front of Jacob and me

As if we’re guided by the heavens' eye

On a ladder road down to the levee town

Quick as lightning, news is frightening

Kayla, my neighbor, where you running to?

Yelling, «Thunder! The prophets have not blundered

The great locks are opening soon.»

The river is high and the sandbags are sinking low

Whoa, they’re rocking the cradle

But some day we’ll rock-a-bye and roll

Out the red carpet 'long the Atchafalaya

And we’ll snake up the river and rejoice in style

Break out a bottle of fine gulping wine

And raise Cain down in the levee town

I heard old Moses was hired to go

By the Corps of Engineers to run this show

Out of the Basin, two by two

Just ask Noah, he knows what to do

The river is high and the sandbags are sinking low

Whoa, they’re rocking the cradle

But some day we’ll rock-a-bye and roll

Out the red carpet 'long the Atchafalaya

And we’ll snake up the river and rejoice in style

Break out a bottle of fine gulping wine

And raise Cain down in the levee town

In the eye of the storm, we will face our fears

At the reckoning place, all channels wind up here

Live oaks point the way

With twisted trunks under mossy drapes

So pull back the curtain, the Devil be damned

Into the fog, we will make our stand

But the word gets around, so don’t be surprised

At who shows up down in the levee town

The river is high and the sandbags are sinking low

Hey, they’re rocking the cradle

But some day rock-a-bye and roll

Out the red carpet 'long the Atchafalaya

And we’ll snake up the river and rejoice in style

Break out a bottle of fine gulping wine

And raise Cain down in the levee town
