Aaron Neville - Louisiana 1927 Lyrics
(randy newman)What has happened down here, is the winds have changedClouds roll in from the north and it started to rainIt rained real hard, and it rained for a real long timeSix feet of water in the streets of evangelineThe river rose all day, the river rose all nightSome people got lost in the flood, some people got away alrightThe river had busted through clear down to placker mineSix feet of water in the streets of evangelineLouisiana, louisianaTheyre trying to wash us away, theyre trying to wash us awayOh louisiana, louisianaTheyre trying to wash us away, theyre trying to wash us awayPresident coolidge come down, in a railroad trainWith his little fat man with a note pad in his handPresident say little fat man, oh isnt it a shame,What the river has done to this poor farmers landOh louisiana, louisianaTheyre trying to wash us away, youre trying to wash us awayOh louisiana, oh louisianaTheyre trying to wash us away, oh lord, theyre trying to wash us awayTheyre trying to wash us away, theyre trying to wash us away
