Louisianna 1927 - Aaron Neville after Randy Newman
[Verse]
G D/F# Em Em7
What has happened down here is the winds have changed
Am7 C C G
Clouds roll in from the north and it start to rain
G D/F# Em Em7
Rained real hard and rained for a real long time
C D CG
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
[Verse]
G D/F# Em Em7
The river rose all day, the river rose all night
C D
Some people got lost in the flood
C G
Some people got away alright
G D/F# Em Em7
The river have busted through, clear down to Plaquemine
C D C G
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em Em7
Louisiana, Louisiana
C
They're tyrin' to wash us away
C G
They're tryin' to wash us away
[Verse]
President Coolidge came 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 has done to this poor cracker's land
[Chorus]
