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 |
Oh isn’t it a shame |
What the river has done |
To this poor farmer’s land» |
Oh Louisiana, Louisiana |
They’re trying to wash us away |
You’re trying to wash us away |
Oh Louisiana, oh Louisiana |
They’re trying to wash us away |
Oh Lord, they’re trying to wash us away |
They’re trying to wash us away |
They’re trying to wash us away |
