What has happened down here
Is the winds have changed
Clouds blew 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
And 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 Plaquemine
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 come down
On a railroad train
A fat man with a little notepad in his hand
The President say, "Little fat man
Isn't it a shame
What the river has done to this poor cracker's land?"
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
