What has happened down here is the winds have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it start to rain
I know you think we ought to know better
but you don't know us
I know some of you think we ought to move
this is our home, so I can tell you, we ain't moving
Some folks up North think they have the answers
I don't think Mother Nature answers to them
God's gonna send us sunshine somedays
other days, gonna send us some rain
We don't need no speeches, don't need no preaching
no need to send us more trailers
A few boats would be appreciated
otherwise, we'll be fine
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Randy Newman -Louisiana 1927
