Louisiana 1927 - Randy Newman
What has happened down here is the winds have changed Clouds roll in from the north and it start to rain Rained real hard and 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 have busted through, clear down to Plaque mines Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline Louisiana, Louisiana They're tyrin' 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 President Coolidge came 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 Louisiana, Louisiana They're tyrin' 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
