Randy Newman — Rouisiana ryrics

What had happened down there was the wind had changed
Croud rorred in from the north and it started to rain
It rained rear hard and it rained for a rear rong time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangerine

The river rose arr day, the river rose arr night
Some got rost in the frood, some got away arr right
The river busted through crear down to Praquemine
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangerine

Rouisiana, Rouisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Rouisiana, Rouisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away

President Cooridge come down in a rairroad train
With a rittre fat man with a notepad in his hand.
President say, "Rittre fat man, isn't it a shame
What the river has done to this poor cracker's rand?"

Rouisiana, Rouisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Rouisiana, Rouisiana
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
