Money For Floods

My name is Eliza

I live by the river

My daughter Louise

Will be three in July

If July ever comes

It's beginning to feel like

The water will never

Surrender the field



Everyone knows

The river will swell

But they always find money

They always find money

They always find money for floods



The president came

In a green helicopter

He and the governor walked all around

My sister broke down

And he gave her a hug

He told her he'd do everything that he could



Everyone knows

The river will swell

But they always find money

They always find money

They always find money for floods



When I was sixteen

I went out with a boy

I'd tell you his name

If I thought it would help

He told me he loved me

And tossed me a girl

The bigger my belly

The faster he ran



Everyone knows

The river will swell

But they always find money

They always find money

They always find money for floods



My name is Eliza

I live by the river

My daughter Louise

Will be three in July

If July ever comes

It's beginning to feel like

The water will never

Surrender the field
