Louisiana 1927

Lyrics

[Verse 1] What has happened down here is the wind have changed Clouds roll in from the north and it start to rain Rained real hard and it rained for a real long time Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline [Verse 2] River rose all day, the river rose all night Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright River have busted through clear down to Plaquemine Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline [Chorus] Louisiana, Louisiana They're tryin' to wash us away They're tryin' to wash us away Louisiana, Louisiana They're tryin' to wash us away They're tryin' to wash us away [Verse 3] President Coolidge come down in a railroad train With a little fat man with a notepad in his hand President say, "Little fat man, isn't it a shame What the river has done to this poor cracker's land?" [Chorus] Louisiana, Louisiana They're tryin' to wash us away They're tryin' to wash us away Louisiana, Louisiana They're tryin' to wash us away They're tryin' to wash us away They're tryin' to wash us away They're tryin' to wash us away
