Lyrics
Louisianne
You might think we've forgotten how
to take the time to party
Just because some water tried to
wash us away again
But everyone should know by now that once you get us started
we make the best of everything
that's the way we've always been
Louisianne, Louisianne
it takes more than a little water
to wash away our land
Louisianne, Louisianne
it takes more than a little water to break the heart of Louisianne
Now the old folks say that without a doubt you just can't change the weather
Just pull your cap down tight til the sun can shine again
So someone pull that guitar out let's sing and dance together
lesse les bon temps roulette
Let it rain let it rain
Louisianne, Louisianne
it takes more than a little water
to wash away our land
Louisianne, Louisianne
it takes more than a little water to break the heart of Louisianne
