Wanna lay my fields in the low country time Where there's not a shady bloom still up in the sky And castles in the sand are all washed away Wanna ride the bridges on the albacross way Goin down to Savannah Getting back what once was mine Goin down to Savannah Will you have mercy on me this time? When the levee broke, nobody was around You stood by watching when I fell to the ground There's no blood on my hands ‘cause I do what I'm told Wanna live a lot longer now I'm feelin so old Goin down to Savannah, get back what once was mine Goin down to Savannah Will you have mercy on me this time? The sun has set down over by Madoon They're pouring drinks down at the old pink saloon But in my reach when the sea rises up, if it washes you away now Honey I'd come! Chorus Chorus
