K a t r i n a - The Hurricane

Collection

Hellicane: Poets Respond to Hurricane Katrina

(to the tune of Corrina, Corrina by Bob Dylan)

Katrina, Katrina Gal, what have you done?

Katrina, Katrina Gal, What have you done? I been worr'in' 'bout my baby Since you took my home

I got a mom that's injured I got a pa that's dead I got a child that's missing I got a man that's dead

But I ain't a-got New Orleans Life don't mean a thing Katrina, Katrina Gal, you're on my mind

Katrina, Katrina Gal, you've done me wrong I'm a-thinkin' 'bout you, baby I just can't keep from crying
