Just for the hell of it, I thought I post the lyrics to Louisiana 1927, by Randy Newman.

I probably haven't done it properly, and I sorry if I'm violating copyrights... But I did cite the writer. It's so appropose... And I think most people aquainted with the history of the region understand the irony of it. The more things change the more they stay the same.

If you want a truely heart breaking, gut wrenching experience, listen the Aaron Neville version of the song, and look at the picture of the elderly lady who has virtually shrouded herself with an american flag blanket at a shelter. The irony and symbolism at that is almost more than I can bare.


Louisiana 1927 Song Lyrics by Randy Newman

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

CHORUS
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tyrin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away

President Coolidge came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand
The President say, "Little fat man isn't it a shame what the river has doneTo this poor crackers land."

CHORUS
