Uploaded by: nowitslemon
Video Description:
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

| bubbahubba000, a grown man said "don't argue with fools". A real man would go and stand up firmly in the hood to say everything he has on his mind about "niggars". but the pussy that is in you will only let you express your hatred behind your computer screen and make think you are bravehearted. |

| Rich or not when you've just had your life ripped out from under you its a pretty helpless feeling, all you can do is beg for help and hope it comes. Personally, I blame Bush 100% for letting the city stand in chaos, uncertainty, and water for over a week before help came. As far as Iraq goes anyone else in Bush's place would have done the same thing after 9-11, war. After Katrina, Bush should be strung up by his nuts and publicly beaten by the citizens of the gulf coast for not acting sooner. |

| The things I miss ... ( 1 month ago by magistr88) |
| The things I miss most about Louisiana are the food & zydeco. Oh yeah, and Mardi Gras. I saw on another thread they were having Mardi Gras somewhere in upstate New York. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery still you can't have a true Mardi Gras outside Louisiana. Many's the time I wish I could go down and get some boudain or some of my Mom's gumbo and red beans & rice. She makes the best but I bet everyone from Louisiana would say the same about their mom's. Love 2 all still there! |

| Hmm, nice - still, note the change of the lyrics. he's singing "what the river has done/ to this poor people's land". Randy Newman wrote "what he river has done/ to this poor crackers lane". But well, a crackers lane it was way back in 1927. |
