Louisiane, 1927
What has happened down here is the wind have changed
Clouds rolled in from the north and it started to rain
Rained real hard and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
River rose all day
The river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood
Some people got away alright
River has busted through clear down to Plaquemine
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

President Coolidge come down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a notepad in his hand
President say, "Hey, Little Fat Man, isn't it a shame
What the river has done to this poor crackers' land"
