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 |
