What's happened |
|
Down here |
|
Is the wind's |
|
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 all right |
|
The river had busted |
|
Through clear |
|
Down to Plaquemines |
|
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 came down |
|
In his big airplane |
|
With his 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 |
|
Farmer'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's tryin' |
|
To wash us away |
|
They're tryin' |
|
To wash us away |
