Lyrics for Louisiana 1927 by Randy Newman
Songwriters: Newman, Randy
Louisiana, Louisiana
Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright
The president say, "Little fat man isn't it a shame
They're tryin' to wash us away
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
What the river has done to this poor crackers land"
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand
They're tyrin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Rained real hard and rained for a real long time
President Coolidge came down in a railroad train
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
The river have busted through cleared down to plaque mines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tyrin' to wash us away
The river rose all day, the river rose all night
