Lyrics

What has happened 'round her is the winds have changed Clouds rolled in from the North and it starts to rain Rained real hard and it rained for a real long time Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline River rose all day and river rose all night Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright The river have busted through clear down to Plaquemines Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline 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 notepad in his hand President said, "Hey, little fat man, isn't it a shame what the river has done to this poor cracker's land?" Then he got back on Air Force One 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 They're tryin' to wash us away.
