Words/Music – Rand Anderson
Ka ua ʻawa coming down
Heading to my side of town
I’ve got the Ala Wai blues
Waters rising, turning brown
Better head for higher ground
I’ve got the Ala Wai blues
No one but my self to thank
For my home upon her bank
I’ve got the Ala Wai blues
Opala floating by
A silver tarp keeps me dry
I’ve got the Ala Wai blues
A good old soul with a pure heart
Please don’t take my shopping cart
I’ve got the Ala Wai blues
Take our troubles out to sea
There’s plenty more folks just like me
We’ve got the Ala Wai blues
I’ve got the Ala Wai blues
Don’t get the Ala Wai blues
