Artist: Randy Newman Album: Good Old Boys
Lyrics
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 evangeline
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
