Lyrics

What's happened down here is the winds have changed

Cloud roll 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, the river rose all night

Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright

The river had 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 came down in his big airplane

With his little fat man with a notepad in his hand

President say, little fat man, oh, isn't it a shame

What the river has done to this poor farmers 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

They're tryin' to wash us away

They're tryin' to wash us away.
