From the recording Short Stories
Here's a South Louisiana influenced declaration of the resilience of the folks who brave floods and hurricanes with an upbeat attitude. Cajun/Zydeco influenced. Fast two step.
Thanks to Hoodoo Papas partner, Rick Woodward, for contributing rhythm guitar and bass.

Lyrics
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 can make the best of everything, that's the way we've always been.
Chorus: 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 you just can't change the weather
Just pull your cap down tight and the Sun will shine again
So someone pull that guitar out, let's dance and sing together
Laissez bon temps rouler, let it rain, let it rain.
Chorus: 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.
