LOUISIANA 1927, Jay Johnson / Music and Lyrics

What has happened down here is the winds have
changed
Clouds rolled in from the north and it started to rain
Well it rained real hard 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 clear on down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
CHORUS
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' 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
