Joan Baez - Money For Floods

My name is Eliza
I live by the river
My daughter Louise
Will be three in July
If July ever comes
Its 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



benim adim Eliza
irmak kenarinda yasiyorum
kizim Louise
Temmuz"da ucune gireceki.
elbette Temmuz gelirse
hissetmeye basliyor
suyun tarlalari
asla rahat birakmayacagini

herkes biliyor
irmaklarin kabaracagini
ama her zaman para buluyorlar
her zaman para buluyorlar
her zaman buluyorlar
seller icin para

baskan geldi
yesil bir Helikopterle
o ve hukumet
cevrede dolasti
kizkardesim onune cikti
ve baskan ona sarildi
ve ona elinden geleni
yapacagini soyledi

herkes biliyor
irmaklarin kabaracagini
ama her zaman para buluyorlar
her zaman para buluyorlar
her zaman buluyorlar
seller icin para

ben onalti yasimdayken
bir cocukla cikiyordum
isinize yaradigini dusunsem
adini soylerdim size
o beni sevdigini soyluyordu
ve bana bir kiz verdi
karnim sistikce
benden uzaklasti

herkes biliyor
irmaklarin kabaracagini
ama her zaman para buluyorlar
her zaman para buluyorlar
her zaman buluyorlar
seller icin para
