Edith Wilson

lyrics

She did her best
Edith was the president, more or less

Woodrow Wilson had a stroke, Edith Wilson took control
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke, Edith Wilson took control

The president was paralyzed
no feeling on his left side
woodrow and edith hid upstairs
a conspiracy to block/hide the truth
(the) doctors lied, rumors grew
what’s really going on up there?

Woodrow Wilson had a stroke, Edith Wilson took control
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke, Edith Wilson took control

his wife called all the shots now
Keep everybody else out
The president //woodrow wilson needs his rest

She made decisions he would have made,
From/sat by his bedside every day
gave permission, she knew/learned how to sign his name


she did her best
edith was the president more or less
