Louisiana - Russell Watson

What’s happened

Down here

Is the wind’s

Have changed

Clouds rolled

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 all right

The river had busted

Through clear

Down to Plaquemines

Six feet of water

In the streets

Of Evangeline

Louisiana, Louisiana

They’re tyrin'

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 came down

In his big airplane

With his little fat man

With a notepad

In his hand

President say

'Little fat man

Isn’t it a shame?

What the river has done

To this poor

Farmer’s land

Louisiana, Louisiana

They’re tyrin'

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’s tryin'

To wash us away

They’re tryin'

To wash us away
