| [00:10.47] | I built this house with my bare hands |
| [00:16.13] | On the shores of Louisian |
| [00:21.67] | Took my sweet cher Jolie-Ann |
| [00:26.44] | For my own – my very own |
| [00:32.01] | Now every man has got his pride |
| [00:37.63] | I tried to shelter and provide |
| [00:42.71] | But I can’t stop this poison tide |
| [00:48.30] | Rollin’ in – rollin’ in |
| [00:54.24][02:01.96] | Now I’ve nothing left to give her |
| [00:59.65][02:07.66] | No answer to her prayers |
| [01:05.55][02:13.61][03:19.91][03:30.45] | Black ribbons on the water |
| [01:11.14][02:18.55][03:25.21][03:35.82] | Black ribbons for her hair |
| [01:18.61] | Came the wind, came the rain |
| [01:24.13] | We defied that hurricane |
| [01:28.72] | And we built this house again |
| [01:34.38] | Stone by stone – stone by stone |
| [01:40.08] | But in the Gulf of Mexico |
| [01:45.19] | 5000 feet below |
| [01:51.29] | Oh the devil’s blood it flows |
| [01:57.19] | On and on – on and on |
| [02:46.19] | Oh how her eyes they used to shine |
| [02:51.48] | Fairest in Evangeline |
| [02:56.44] | Now they stare so cold and blind |
| [03:02.10] | Through my soul – oh Lord my soul |
| [03:08.32] | She was tangled in the saltgrass |
| [03:13.64] | Not a bullet left to spare |
| [00:10.47] | I built this house with my bare hands |
| [00:16.13] | On the shores of Louisian |
| [00:21.67] | Took my sweet cher JolieAnn |
| [00:26.44] | For my own my very own |
| [00:32.01] | Now every man has got his pride |
| [00:37.63] | I tried to shelter and provide |
| [00:42.71] | But I can' t stop this poison tide |
| [00:48.30] | Rollin' in rollin' in |
| [00:54.24][02:01.96] | Now I' ve nothing left to give her |
| [00:59.65][02:07.66] | No answer to her prayers |
| [01:05.55][02:13.61][03:19.91][03:30.45] | Black ribbons on the water |
