  1. Louisiana 1927

    Louisiana 1927

    What has happened down here,
    Is the winds have changed
    Clouds roll in from the north
    And it started to rain
    It rained real hard, and
    It 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 alright
    The river had busted through
    Clear down to Plackermine
    Six feet of water
    In the streets of Evangeline

    Louisiana, Louisiana
    They’re trying to wash us away,
    They’re trying to wash us away
    Oh Louisiana, Louisiana
    They’re trying to wash us away,
    They’re trying to wash us away

    President Coolidge come down,
    In a railroad train
    With his little fat man
    With a note pad in his hand
    President says “little fat man,
    Oh isn’t it a shame,
    What the river has done
    To this poor farmer’s land”

    Oh Louisiana, Louisiana
    They’re trying to wash us away,
    You’re trying to wash us away
    Oh Louisiana, oh Louisiana
    They’re trying to wash us away,
    Oh Lord, they’re trying to wash us away
    They’re trying to wash us away,
    They’re trying to wash us away

  2. Everybody Plays the Fool

    Everybody Plays the Fool

    Ok, so your heart is broken
    You’re sitting around mopin’, cryin’, cryin’
    You say you even think about dying
    Well, before you do anything rash, baby, dig this

    Everybody plays the fool, sometime
    There’s no exception to the rule, listen baby
    It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain’t lying
    Everybody plays the fool

    Fallin’ in love is such an easy thing to do
    But there’s no guarantee that the one you love, is gonna love you
    Oh, loving eyes they cannot see a certain person could never be
    Love runs deeper than any ocean, it clouds your mind with emotion

    Everybody plays the fool, sometime
    There’s no exception to the rule, listen baby
    It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain’t lying
    Everybody plays the fool

    How can you help it, when the music starts to play
    And your ability to reason, is swept away
    Oh, heaven on earth is all you see, you’re out of touch with reality
    And now you cry, but when you do, next time around someone cries for you

    Hey, everybody plays the fool, sometime
    Use your heart just like a tool, listen baby
    They never tell you so in school, I wanna say it again,
    Everybody plays the fool

    Everybody plays the fool, sometime
    There’s no exception to the rule, listen baby
    It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain’t lying
    Everybody plays the fool

    Every plays the fool, sometime
    There’s no exception to the rule, listen baby
    It may be factual, it may be cruel, I wanna say it again
    Everybody plays the fool

  3. It Feels Like Rain

    It Feels Like Rain

    Down here the river meets the sea
    In the sticky heat I feel you open up to me
    Love comes out of no where, baby, oh, just like a hurricane
    And it feels like rain
    And it feels like rain

    Lying underneath the stars right next to you
    And I’m wondering who you are, and how do you do, how do you do baby
    Oh, the clouds roll in across the moon, and the wind howls out your name
    And it feels like rain
    And it feels like rain

    We never gonna make that bridge tonight, baby
    Set across the Pontchartrain
    And it feels like rain
    And it feels like rain

    Batten down the hatches, baby
    Leave your heart out on your sleeve
    Looks like we’re in for stormy, stormy, stormy weather
    That ain’t no cause to leave
    Just like
    Let it wash away the pain
    And it feels like rain
    And it feels like rain
    Baby can you feel it, can you feel it
    It feels like rain
    Baby can you feel it, can you feel it
    Feels like rain
    Let your love, let your love come down
    Oh, down on me

  4. Somewhere, Somebody

    Somewhere, Somebody

    Must be a million girls in this great big city
    I know that one of them is just right for me
    I’ve looked uptown, downtown, all around searchin’
    I know she’s out there waiting for me

    Somewhere, somebody, lookin’, longin’
    Somewhere, somebody, waitin’ for me
    Somewhere, somebody, searchin’, prayin’
    Tell me where in the world can this girl be

    You know street lights shine in those passin’ faces
    I keep tryin’ to catch somebody’s eye
    But all the shoulda been’s, the woulda been’s, the mighta been’s and the coulda been’s
    Slippin’ away and just walk right on by

    Somewhere, somebody, lookin’, longin’
    Somewhere, somebody, waitin’ for me
    Somewhere, somebody, searchin’, prayin’
    Tell me where in the world can this girl be

    I walk in the rain that’s fallin’
    Some voice in the distance callin’, why
    I run to the empty doorway waitin’ for the sun to shine
    When will love be mine

    Somewhere, somebody, searchin’, prayin’
    Tell me where in the world
    Somewhere, somebody, searchin’, prayin’
    Tell me where in the world

    Must be a million girls in this great big city
    I know you’re out there waiting for me

  5. Don’t Go, Please Stay

    Don’t Go, Please Stay

    Don’t go, please stay
    Don’t go, please stay

    If I got on my knees and pleaded with you
    Not to go, but to stay in my heart
    Would you walk out the door
    Like you did once before
    But this time be different and please stay
    Don’t go, please stay
    Don’t go

    If I call out your name like a prayer
    Would you leave me alone with my tears
    Knowing i, I need you so
    Would you still turn and go

    But this time be different in some way
    Don’t go, please stay
    Don’t go, please stay

    You took me away from the rest of the world
    When you taught me to love you like this
    Now I hang by a thread in the canyon of doom
    But I still can be saved by your kiss

    If I call out your name like a prayer
    Would you leave me alone with my tears
    Knowing i, I need you so
    Would you still turn and go
    But this time be different and please stay
    Don’t go, please stay
    Don’t go, please stay
    Don’t go, please stay

  6. With You in Mind

    With You in Mind

    With you in mind, things just ain’t bad as they seem
    With you in mind, I can fill my wildest dreams
    With you in mind, I can do anything, I know I can
    With you in mind
    With you in mind

    With you in mind, I went out looking for the best
    With you in mind, cause you deserve nothing less
    With you in mind, I’ve done so many things that love can bring
    With you in mind
    With you in mind

    Like a flower drinking from the falling rain
    Or the same rain that could wash it away
    Gives it strength, gives it water
    And before you know, another day

    Like a flower drinking from the falling rain
    Or the same rain that could wash it away
    Gives it strength, gives it water
    And before you know, another day

    Like a flower drinking from the falling rain
    The same rain that could wash it away
    Gives it strength, gives it water
    And before you know, another day

  7. That’s the Way She Loves

    That’s the Way She Loves

    With her mind far away from mine
    She’s mostly sincere most of the time
    Yeah
    That’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves
    That’s the way she loves

    That’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves
    That’s the way she loves

    With her strong desire to please
    Oppression to her, is like a disease
    Yeah
    That’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves
    That’s the way she loves

    That’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves
    That’s the way she loves

    Many times when she’s alone
    She dreams and dreams and dreams
    Dreaming of a perfect love
    That never was, and would never be

    With her heart placed in her hand
    She will go to the end and back if she can for me
    That’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves
    That’s the way she loves

    That’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves
    That’s the way she loves

    That’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves
    That’s the way she loves

    That’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves
    That’s the way she loves

    That’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves
    That’s the way she loves
    That’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves, that’s the way she loves
    That’s the way she loves

  10. La Vie Dansante

    La Vie Dansante

    They can come take it all away
    Break you heart by the light of day
    Drown your love in a distant bay so lonely

    See the ships heading for the rocks
    See the time melting over the clocks
    There’s a light shadows all
    The rocks that saves me
    It saves me

    That’s why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
    On the night wind that takes me
    Just where I want
    That’s all I want
    La Vie Dansante

    Miss the beat if you close your eyes
    Every night wears a new disguise
    And I live when a new surprise surrenders

    Feel it all with a willing heart
    Every stop, there’s a place to start
    If you know how to play the part with feeling
    I play with feeling

    Why don’t you wander and follow La Vie Dansante
    On the night wind that takes you
    Just where you want
    That’s all you want

    La Vie Dansante

    That’s why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
    On the night wind that takes me
    Just where I want
