Alligator Pie (Main Song Page)
Alligator Pie
main lyrics
Floating in the Lower Nine
waiting for a boat to throw me a line
see my Stella smile
sitting on a roof eating alligator pie
first day, the water rise
second day, the sun is high
third day, Stella cries
'cause nighttime's dark as a dead man's eyes
tell me when help is gonna come?
Stella said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"
[?] help is gonna come?

Oh, it went right on by
thank the lord everybody's alright
don't mean to throw a Second Line
but the devil broke the levee and left us here to die
Stella said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"
Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?
Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?

Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?
Like a dancehall to get y'all down
like a dancehall to get y'all down
like a dancehall to get y'all
Daddy, when you gonna

All the things we know and everything we hope for
all the things we wanted, everything that was sure
now there is a scar where the old men used to be
a corner store and market where Stella used to sing to me
but grace is all I'm asking, when will grace return?
grace is all I'm asking

Remember how it feels
lazy days in the summertime
my Stella smiles
she say, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"
Stella said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"
she said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"

Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?
tell me, lord, when help is gonna come?
Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?
