Louisiana

[Verse 1]

What has happened down here is the wind have changed

Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain

Rained real hard and 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 have busted through cleared down to Plaquemines

Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

[Chorus]

Louisiana [2x]

They're tyring to wash us away [2x]

Louisiana [2x]

They're trying to wash us away [2x]

[Verse 2]

President Coolidge came down in a railroad train

With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand

The President say, "Little fat man isn't it a shame

What the river has done

To this poor crackers land

[Chorus]
