Louisiana 1927

What has happened down here is the wind have changed
 Clouds roll in from the north and it start 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 alright
 The river has busted through clear down to Plaquemine
 Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

 What the river has done to this poor cracker's land"
