Aaron Neville - "Louisiana 1927"
A Concert for Hurricane Relief, September 2, 2005. Aaron Neville performing "Louisiana 1927"
"The river rose all day, the river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood,
some people got away alright
The river has busted through clear down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
Oh Louisiana, oh Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away,
they're trying to wash us away
Oh Louisiana, oh Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away,
they're trying to wash us away
President Coolidge come down, in a railroad train
Little fat man with a note pad in his hand
President say little fat man, oh isn't it a shame,
What the river has done to this poor people's land
Oh Louisiana, oh Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away,
you're trying to wash us away
Oh Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away,
they're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away,
they're trying to wash us away"
