What has happened down here is the wind has changed
Clouds rolled in from the north and it starts to rain
G Bm7 *Em7 LINK
It rained real hard and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
G Bm7 *Em7 LINK
The river rose all day the river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood some people got away all right
G Bm7 *Em7 LINK
The river had busted through clear down to Plaquemine
Loui-- siana
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
Loui----siana, Loui---siana
(add9)
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away
Loui----siana, Loui---siana
(add9)
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away
G Bm7 *Em7 LINK
President Coolidge came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a notepad in his hand
G Bm7 *Em7 LINK
President say: "Little fat man isn't it a shame,
Loui-- siana
What the river has done to this poor crackers' land?"
Loui----siana, Loui---siana
(add9)
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
(add9)
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away
