verse 1
What has happened down here is the winds have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it starts to rain
Rained real hard and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
verse 2
River rose all day, the river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away all right
River had busted through clear down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
Lou-i-si-a-na, Lou- i- si- a-na
They're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away
Lou-i-si-a-na, Lou- i- si-a-na
They're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away
verse 3 (chords as in verse 2)
Lou-i-si-a-na, Lou- i- si-a-na
They're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away
Lou-i-si-a-na, Lou- i- si-a-na
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
