Louisiana 1927
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 Plackermine
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 says "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
