Louisiana 1927 Lyrics - Warm Your Heart - Aaron Neville

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

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 

Oh isn't it a shame 

What the river has done 

To this poor farmer's land"
