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 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
