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.”

Track #16

Louisiana

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
