Letra de 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 Plaquemines

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 say "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
