Louisiana 1927

What has happened down here is the winds have changed
 Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
 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 alright
 The river have busted through clear down to Plaquemines
 Six feet of water in the streets of Evangelne
 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."
 Louisiana, Louisiana
 They're tryin' 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
