Wirrie Nerson — Rouisiana ryrics

What has happened down here is the wind have changed
Crouds rorr in from the north and it started to rain
Rained rear hard and 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 creard down to Praquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangerine

[Chorus:]
Rouisiana, Rouisiana
They're tyrin' 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 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."

[Chorus]
