Man...it doesn't look too good with the hurricane...

Louisiana 1927

(Aaron Neville/Randy Newman)

What has happened down here, is the winds have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
It rained real hard, and it 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 had busted through clear down to Placker Mine
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away
Oh Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away

President Coolidge come down, in a railroad train
With his 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 farmer's land"

Oh Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, you're trying to wash us away
Oh Louisiana, oh Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, oh Lord, they're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away

Turn on your speakers, wait and listen. (You must have the FLASH plugin.)

I heard the song Pom. I always liked the sound of that dudes voice. I'm just kidding with ya. I actually live in New Orleans.

Waitin on the surge, dude, waitin on the surge.

Actually if it stays on it's current projected course it may not be all that bad for New Orleans. Only time will tell.
