Money for Floods
My name is ElizaI live by the riverMy daughter LouiseWill be three in JulyIf July ever comesIts beginning to feelLike the water will neverSurrender the field
Everyone knowsRivers will swellBut they always find moneyThey always find moneyThey always findMoney for floods
The President cameIn a green helicopterHe and the GovernorWalked all aroundMy sister broke downAnd he gave her a hugAnd told her he'd doEverything that he could
Everyone knowsRivers will swellBut they always find moneyThey always find moneyThey always findMoney for floods
When I was sixteenI went out with a boyI'd tell you his nameIf I thought it would helpHe told me he loved meAnd tossed me a girlThe bigger my bellyThe faster he ran
And everyone knowsRivers will swellBut they always find moneyThey always find moneyThey always findMoney for floods
