Written by Jacob Lee

lyrics

They say the Mississippi's flooding
They say it's drowning New Orleans
They say everything in Louisiana
Washed down here from Tennessee

People talk about 1927
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
Some times six feet don't amount to nothing
'Cause this year the streets are holding nine

They say the Mississippi's flooding
They say it's drowning New Orleans
They say everything in Louisiana
Washed down here from Tennessee

There's roosters crowing on the rooftops
Farmers ain't got nothing left to plow
The levy's busted and it keeps on raining
There ain't no way to stop it now

They say the Mississippi's flooding
They say it's drowning New Orleans
They say everything in Louisiana
Washed down here from Tennessee
