Willie Nelson - Louisiana Lyrics
What has happened down here is the wind have changedClouds roll in from the north and it started to rainRained real hard and rained for a real long timeSix feet of water in the streets of EvangelineThe river rose all dayThe river rose all nightSome people got lost in the floodSome people got away alrightThe river have busted through cleard down to PlaqueminesSix feet of water in the streets of Evangeline[Chorus:]Louisiana, LouisianaThey're tyrin' to wash us awayThey're tryin' to wash us awayLouisiana, LouisianaThey're tryin' to wash us awayThey're tryin' to wash us awayPresident Coolidge came down in a railroad trainWith a little fat man with a note-pad in his handThe President say, "Little fat man isn't it a shameWhat the river has doneTo this poor crackers land."[Chorus]
