The lake waters kept risin
   It was somewhat surprising
   How disaster like this
   Could be caused by remiss
   Lake dwellers wanted the water to be higher
   And the Dam Autorities met their desire
   But the torrential rain begain
   And the authorities dreaded meeting the dwellers demand
   The levee was about to break
   The ground begain the shake
   The flood gates had to be open without delay
   A decision the autorities have to live with everyday
   Victims are suing the Sabine River Autorities
   A class actionlawsuit is their main priority
   For thousands of homes and lives were destoyed or affected
   All across South West Louisianna and South East Texas

   Day after day in his rocking chair

   He would just sit and stare in the air

   And dream of his childhood days

   When he played and played for hours on end

   And when he had many a friend

   But now those days have gone away

   And grandfather sits another day.
