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"
~Randy Newman
