Louisiana 1927 (2003) Randy Newman

[Verse 1]
What has happened down here is the wind have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it start to rain
Rained real hard and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

[Verse 2]
River rose all day, the river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright
River has busted through clear down to Plaquemine
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

[Chorus]
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
Thеy're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away

[Verse 3]
Prеsident Coolidge come down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a notepad in his hand
President say, "Little fat man, isn't it a shame
What the river has done to this poor cracker's land?"
