lyrics

Montana elected the first woman in House
Pacifist, children’s rights, suffragette with no fear
Germany, in the sea, sank our passenger ship
When the vote hit the floor
She stood apart and said:

I wish to stand for my country, but I cannot vote for warfare
All Montana stands against me, but I cannot vote for warfare
Bombs may illuminate the sea, but I cannot vote for warfare
Say you’ll split my district in 3...I vote no!

Twenty years, after war, she wins another seat
Victory, at last peace, it seems within her reach
Then Japan, had a plan, Pearl Harbor was bombed
When the vote hit the floor
She stood alone and said:

I wish to stand for my country, but I cannot vote for warfare
All Montana stands against me, but I cannot vote for warfare
Bombs may illuminate the sea, but I cannot vote for warfare
Say you’ll split my district in 3...I vote no!
