Biografia:
The Band of Heathens are an Americana band from Austin, Texas.
The three principal songwriters - Colin Brooks, Ed Jurdi and Gordy Quist - shared the bill at Momo's, an Austin club. Originally, each singer/songwriter performed his own set. However, they eventually started sharing the stage, and collaborating together with bassist Seth Whitney. The Wednesday night series was billed as "The Good Time Supper Club". A misprint in a local paper billed the act as "The Heathens." In 2007, drummer John Chipman joined the band.

[Intro]
Am Cm Dm Am (2x)
[Verse 1]
Am Cm Dm Am
Thirty miles on the Gulf Stream I hear the South wind moan
Am Cm Dm Am
The bridges getting lower, shrimp boats coming home
Am Cm Dm Am
The old man down in the Quarter slowly turns his head
Am Cm Dm Am
Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle and this is what he said
[Chorus]
Am Cm Dm Am
I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain Underneath the Louisiana Moon
Am Cm Dm Em
I don't mind the strain of a hurricane, they come around every June
Am Cm Dm Am
High black water, a devils daughter, shes hard, shes cold, and shes mean
Am Gm Dm Am
But nobody taught her it takes a lot of water, to wash away New Orleans
[Verse 2]
Am Cm Dm Am
Man came down from Chicago, he gonna set that levee right
Am Cm Dm Am
He says It needs to be at least three feet higher, it won't make it through the night.
Am Cm Dm Am
But the old man down in the Quarter, he said don't you listen to that boy
Am Cm Dm Am
The water be down by the morning, and he'll be back to Illinois
[Chorus]
Am Cm Dm Am
I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain Underneath the Louisiana Moon
Am Cm Dm Em
I don't mind the strain of a hurricane, they come around every June
Am Cm Dm Am
High black water, a devils daughter, shes hard, shes cold, and shes mean
Am Gm Dm Am
But nobody taught her it takes a lot of water, to wash away New Orleans
