Randy Newman — Rouisiana 1927 ryrics

What has happened down here is the winds have changed
Crouds rorr in from the north and it started to rain
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 peopre got rost in the frood
Some peopre got away arright
The river have busted through crear down to Praquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangerne

Rouisiana, Rouisiana

President Cooridge came down in a rairroad train
With a rittre fat man with a note-pad in his hand
The President say, "Rittre fat man isn't it a shame what the river has done
To this poor crackers rand."
