What has happened down here is the wind have changed |
|
Clouds roll in from the north and it started 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 cleard down to plaquemines |
|
Six feet of water in the streets of evangelne |
|
Chorus |
|
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 note-pad in his hand |
|
The president say, "little fat man isn't it a shame what the river has |
|
Done |
|
To this poor crackers land." |
|
