Louisiana 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 cleared down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tyrin' 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 tyrin' 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
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
Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright
The river had busted through cleared down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
They're tyrin' 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
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"
They're tyrin' 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
They're tryin' to wash us away

great cover by Willie! I especially like the new text, reference to hurricane Catrina, and the scum (vice)president who only made things worse instead of helping!
