The one the Guest linked to above is "Louisiana 1927," by Randy Newman. That's not the song, but I think it's one verybody should take a look at.
I found the song here (click). I know nothing about Leon Everett, but it looks like a great song.

Hurricane
Leon Everett

  F#                      A
  Thirty miles out in the Gulfstream
        B                      F#
  I can hear those south winds moan
  
  Bridges are looking lower
  Shrimp boats hurrying home
  The old man down in the quarter
  Slowly turned his head
  Took another sip of whiskey
  He looked at me and said
  
  CHORUS:
  
             F#                      A
  Well I was born in the rain by the Ponchartrain
       B                    F#
  Underneath that Louisiana moon
    F#                         A
  I don't mind the strain of a hurricane
           B                  C#
  When she comes 'round every June
  F#                         A
  High black water she's the devil's daughter
        B                             F#
  She's hard an' she's cold an' she's mean
                            A         
  Nobody taught her that it takes a lot of water
     B             F#
  To wash away New Orleans
  
  Man come down from Chicago
  Gonna set that levee right
  He said it's got to be three feet higher
  Or it won't make it through the night
  The old man down in the quarter
  Said don't you listen to that boy
  The water be down by morning
  So he'll be on his way to Illinois.
  
  CHORUS
