Down in New Orleans where the blues cries loud Streets tell stories under the Mardi Gras cloud Poverty's shadow stretches far and wide In the heart of the city where hope and despair collide Oh New Orleans your beauty's bittersweet With every heartache you still find a beat Racism's chains and the crime that bleeds In the land of the free where the blues pleads Hurricane whispers still haunt the air Environmental scars show the wear and tear Wetlands disappearing sea levels rise In the Crescent City where nature's cry defies Oh New Orleans your beauty's bittersweet With every heartache you still find a beat Racism's chains and the crime that bleeds In the land of the free where the blues pleads Trash on the streets like tears in the rain Floods wash away but the pain remains The river's power untapped and ignored In a city that's rich but can't afford From the jazz clubs to the street parades The spirit of the people it never fades But beneath the surface the struggles are real In the blues of New Orleans life's ordeal So here's to New Orleans may you find your peace In the melody of the blues may your sorrows cease For in every note there's a story untold Of a city that's resilient strong and bold
