Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

What's happened
Down here
Is the wind's
Have changed
Clouds rolled
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 all right
The river had busted
Through clear
Down to Plaque-mines
Six feet of water
In the streets
Of Evangeline

Louisiana, Louisiana

[Chorus]
They're tyrin'
To wash us away
They're tryin'
To wash us away

Louisiana, Louisiana

[Chorus]

President came down
In his big airplane
With his little fat man
With a notepad
In his hand
President say
Little fat man
Isn't it a shame?
What the river has done
To this poor
Farmer's land

Louisiana, Louisiana

[Chorus]

Louisiana, Louisiana

[Chorus: x2]
