Track #9
Louisiana 1927Randy Newman
Written in 1974
What has happened down here is the wind has 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 all right
The river have busted through clear’d down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
CHORUS
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin’ 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.”

Davell Crawford –
Live At Jazz Fest 2007
“President Bush
came down the
railroad line. With a
little white man
with a pen in his
hand.
The President said,
‘Little white man
ain’t a shame
what the
government has
done,
what the river has
done, to this ol’
creole land.’”
What a Wonderful WorldIronic use
What a Wonderful World was used
ironically in 1978 radio broadcast
of the last episode of The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
(first series). The song replaced the
usual end credits as the two main
characters, stranded on pre-
history Earth, lament its
destruction witnessed in the first
episode.
In 1987 the song was included
in the soundtrack for the film
Good Morning, Vietnam.
In the film, the song plays over a
montage of soldiers in the
field, bombings, protest
marches, and other violence .
Track #14
Davell Crawford(Composer/Singer) Gather by the River
We shall gather at the
river
with each other cause
you're my brother
Dip our souls in the
water
for the healing of
each other
Track #4
Be saved, sanctified
freed from sin,
to every last
Fly away
o'er the land
Because we can
Because we can
