monette moore - goin' down to the levee lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
“one-man” nan, a gal from alabam’
she never loved but “good man” sam
“good man” sam slipped off the levee one day
fell into the river then he faded away

[pre-chorus]
when “one-man” nan heard the news
she started down the road and sang this weary tune

[chorus]
i’m going down to the levee
where the water’s heavy
i’m going to find my “good man” sam
i made a vow when i got him
that i’d never drop him
when he was in a jam
now, the thought of sam sinking
honey, that’s my cup
it’s going to be my place to lift him up
i’m going down to the levee
where the water’s heavy
i’m going to find my “good man” sam

[verse 2]
“one-man” nan, levee bound
feet flip-flopping on the ground
ripped out trees, roots and all
just like a cannonball

[bridge]
she outran her shadow
left it far behind
started running sideways
just to keep from flying

[pre-chorus]
half a mile, ’round about
heard old nan a-shout

[chorus]
i’m going down to the levee
where the water’s heavy
i’m going to find my “good man” sam
i made a vow when i got him
that i’d never drop him
when he was in a jam
now you can tell all the gals, for “one-man” nan
a good woman’s place is with her man
i’m going down to the levee
where the water’s heavy
i’m going to find my “good man” sam
