Holy, Holy, Holy, Moses (Song For New Orleans) - Alec Ounsworth, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Holy, Holy, Holy Moses

Can’t you hear me, Holy Moses?

Good God, I said I’ve seen rain and fire

Lord God knows that I’ve seen rain and fire

Holy, Holy, Holy Moses

Don’t you feel me, Holy Moses?

I’m a stranger to my own homeland

Stranger, stranger to myself I am

Are you a stranger to me, too?

Don’t tell me…

La, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la

God spilled rain upon the water

And the car got sunk

And my ma got drunk

And my faith got shook

How can I claim New Orleans?

I’m just wishing that the sun shines

On my brother

Holy, Holy, Holy Moses

Don’t you fear me, Holy Moses?

I have put your portrait in the sand

High tide come and there I go again
