Louisiana 1927 lyrics
What has happened down here is the wind have changed
Clouds rolled in from the north and it started to rain
It rained real hard and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
The river rose all day, the river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright
The river had busted through clear down to Plaquemine
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
Louisiana, Louisiana
They re trying to wash us away, they re trying to wash us away
Oh, Louisiana, Louisiana
They re trying to wash us away, they re trying to wash us away
President Coolidge come down in a railroad train
Little fat man with a notepad in his hand
President say, "Little fat man, oh, isn t it a shame
What the river have done to this poor farmer s land"
Oh, Louisiana, Louisiana
You re trying to wash us away, you re trying to wash us away
Oh, Louisiana, oh Lord, oh Louisiana
They re trying to wash us away, oh Lord, they re trying to wash us away
They re trying to wash us away, they re trying to wash us away
