What has happened down here, 
Is the winds have changed 
Clouds 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 Plackermine 
Six feet of water 
In the streets of Evangeline 

Louisiana, Louisiana 
They're trying to wash us away, 
They're trying to wash us away 
Oh Louisiana, Louisiana 
They're trying to wash us away, 
They're trying to wash us away 

President Coolidge come down, 
In a railroad train 
With his little fat man 
With a note pad in his hand 
President says "little fat man, 
Oh isn't it a shame, 
What the river has done 
To this poor farmer's land"

Oh Louisiana, Louisiana 
They're trying to wash us away, 
You're trying to wash us away 
Oh Louisiana, oh Louisiana 
They're trying to wash us away, 
Oh Lord, they're trying to wash us away 
They're trying to wash us away, 
They're trying to wash us away
