What has happened down
here is the wind have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
Rained real hard and rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
River rose all day the river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood
some people got away alright
River have busted
through cleared down to Plaquemines
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 come down
in a railroad train
With a little 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 crackers land
