Various Artists - Pphilharmonic Louisiana 1927 - Randy Newman And The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra With Members Of The New York lyrics

York - Philharmonic 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 Well 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 Placker Mine 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 say "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
