REMEMBERING A WONDERFUL CITY FOR WHAT IT WAS...AND WHAT IT WILL BE AGAIN

NBC used a bit of this tune last night during their fundraising concert special while showing a bit of the damage from Biloxi, Mississippi, and it simply brought tears to my eyes. But I know a lot of those people in the area, and one thing about people from the Gulf South is that they will dust themselves off and rebuild bigger and better than ever. They did it after Camille in 1969, at that time the worst ever, and they'll do it again.

Biloxi
by Jimmy Buffet...who is from the Gulf South

Down around Biloxi
Pretty girls are dancing in the sea
They all look like sisters in the ocean
Boy will fill his pale with salty water
And the storms will blow from off towards New Orleans

The Sun shines on Biloxi
The air is filled with vapors from the sea
The boy will dig a pool beside the ocean
He sees creatures from his dreams underwater
And the Sun will set from off towards New Orleans

Stars can see Biloxi
Stars can find their faces in the sea
We are walking down beside the ocean
We are splashing naked in the water
And the sky is red from off towards New Orleans

Down around Biloxi
Pretty girls are swiming in the sea
They all look like sisters in the ocean
Boy will fill his pale with salty water
And the storms will blow from off towards New Orleans
