Louisiana 1927 Lyrics - Randy Newman

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 

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

President Coolidge come down in a railroad train 

With a little fat man with a notepad in his hand 

President say, "Little Fat Man, ain't it a shame 

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