Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] What has happened down here, is the winds have changed? Clouds roll 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 clear through down to Placker Mine Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline [Chorus] Louisiana (Lousiana), Louisiana (Lousiana) They're trying to wash us away They're trying to wash us away Louisiana (Louisiana), Louisiana (Louisiana) They're trying to wash us away They're trying to wash us away (Wash us away) They're trying to wash us away [Verse 2] President Coolidge come down in a railroad train With his little fat man, with a notepad in his hand President say "Hey, little fat man Isn't it a shame? It's a shame What the river has done to this poor cracker's land?" [Chorus] Louisiana (Louisiana), Louisiana (Louisiana) They're trying to wash us away They're trying to wash us away They're trying to wash us away [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Louisiana (Louisiana), Louisiana (Louisiana) They're trying to wash us away (Wash us away) They're trying to wash us away (Wash us away) Louisiana (Louisiana), Louisiana (Louisiana) They're trying to wash us away (Wash us away) They're trying to wash us away (Wash us away) They're trying to wash us away (Wash us away) They're trying to wash us away They're trying to wash us away
