Louisiana Songtext
von Willie Nelson

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 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 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 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.
