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
[Chorus:] 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
[Chorus]
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
