There Ain't No Saints (In St. Louis Tonight)I am a religious man I have prayed for the rain to stop When the water topped the levee My prayers were just drowning crops My wife is in a shelter And my children are in there too We watched our whole life float away There was nothing we could do Chorus: Catholics and Irishmen all have their patron saints The Show Me State surely needs to see one tonight The Mississippi River has turned into a raging sea And it has made a broken hearted sailor out of me By the grace of Saint Elmo we'll be all right But there ain't no saints in St. Louis tonight The Bible says that Moses Turned the ocean into dry land Moses don't live in Missouri So we do the best we can Soon the water will recede And leave its muddy calling card That says disaster area And means National Guard Chorus: Catholics and Irishmen all have their patron saints The Show Me State surely needs to see one tonight The Mississippi River has turned into a raging sea And it has made a broken hearted sailor out of me By the grace of Saint Elmo we'll be all right But there ain't no saints in St. Louis tonight Bridge: The President flew in today Another helicopter in the sky He promised federal aid Then waved and said goodbye Chorus: Catholics and Irishmen all have their patron saints The Show Me State surely needs to see one tonight The Mississippi River has turned into a raging sea And it has made a broken hearted sailor out of me By the grace of Saint Elmo we'll be all right But there ain't no saints in St. Louis tonight Copyright Kent Newsome and Ronnie Jeffrey All Rights Reserved |
