[ Featuring the Howlers ]
What is happenin' here is the wind had changed
Storm rolled in from the north and it started to rain
Rained all day, 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 caught in the flood
Some people got away all right
The river has 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 said, ""Fat man ain't it a shame
What the river has done to this poor cracker's 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
