Louisiana 1927
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
It rained for a real long time
There was 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 clear through
Down to Placker Mine
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
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away
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
Ain't it a shame?
It's a shame
What the river has done
To this poor cracker's land"
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away
Ooooh
