Randy Newman lyrics : Louisiana 1927 lyrics

Louisiana 1927

Printer Friendly Version
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 cleard down to plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of evangelne

Chorus
Louisiana, louisiana
They're tyrin' 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 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
