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

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 had busted through

clear down to plaquemine

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

oh louisiana

louisiana

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 note pad in his hand

president says little fat man
