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 have busted through, cleared 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 came down on a railroad train
With fat man with a note-pad in his hand
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
