LOUISIANA 1927 RANDY NEWMAN
G B7 Em C
What has happened down here is the wind have changed
Am7 D7 C/D G
Clouds rolled in from the North and it start to rain
G B7 Em C
It rained real hard, rained for a real long time
Am7 D7 C/D G - Am7 - G
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 all right
The river has busted thru clear down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
Chorus:
D G B7 Em C Am7 G C Am7 G
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 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 have done to this poor crackers land.
Chorus (x2)
