Louisiana 1927 by Randy Newman |
|
What has happened down here is the wind have changed Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain Rained real hard and 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 have busted through cleard down to Plaquemines Six feet of water in the streets of Evangelne
CHORUS Louisiana, Louisiana They're tyrin' to wash us away They're tryin' to wash us away Louisiana, Louisiana They're tryin' to wash us away They're tryin' to wash us away
President Coolidge came down in a railroad train With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand The President say, "Little fat man isn't it a shame what the river has done To this poor crackers land."
CHORUS

I can hear this song in my head. Anyone old enough to remember when the Cuyahoga River was spontaneously combusting? Now THAT is pollution.
Burn On by Randy Newman
There's a red moon rising On the Cuyahoga River Rolling into Cleveland to the lake
There's a red moon rising ON the Cuyahoga River Rolling into Cleveland to the lake
There's an oil barge winding Down the Cuyahoga River Rolling into Cleveland to the lake There's an oil barge winding Down the Cuyahoga River Rolling into Cleveland to the lake
Cleveland city of light city of magic Cleveland city of light you're calling me Cleveland, even now I can remember 'Cause the Cuyahoga River Goes smokin' through my dreams
Burn on, big river, burn on Burn on, big river, burn on Now the Lord can make you tumble And the Lord can make you turn And the Lord can make you overflow But the Lord can't make you burn
Burn on, big river, burn on Burn on, big river, burn on

I just played it. If I knew how to post a link to the song, I would.
Randy just never fails to get my heart - and at such appropriate times in my life.
