[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
