Louisiana 1927 by Randy Newman
What has happened down here is the winds have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
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...The river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood...Some people got away alright
The river have busted through clear 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 came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand
The President say, "Little fat man isn't it a shame
What the river has done...To this poor crackers 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
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
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...The river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood...Some people got away alright
The river have busted through clear 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

They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana...They're tryin' to wash us away
Substitute Coolidge with Bush and it sounds like 2005 not 1927
