Money for Floods lyrics

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

Rivers 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

And told her he'd do

Everything that he could

Everyone knows

Rivers 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

And everyone knows

Rivers will swell

But they always find money

They always find money

They always find

Money for floods
