Waters Ethel - One Man Nan lyrics

Waters Ethel Miscellaneous One Man Nan One-Man Nan, a gal from Alabam Never loved but Good Man Sam Good Man Sam slipped off the levee one day; He fell into the river, then he faded away; When One-Man Nan got the news She started down the road and sang these weary blues: I'm going down to the levee Where the water's heavy Gonna 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 Somebody told of Sam's sinkin' That's my cup It's gonna be my place to pick him up I'm going down to the levee Where the water's heavy Gonna find my good man Sam One-Man Nan Levee-bound Keeps slip-sloppin' on the ground Ripped up trees Roots and all Just like a cannon ball; She outran her shadow Left it far behind Got it runnin' sideways Just to keep from flyin' Folks for miles round about Heard old Nanny shout: I'm going down to the levee Where the water's heavy Gonna 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 Somebody told of Sam's sinkin' That's my cup It's gonna be my place to pick him up I'm going down to the levee Where the water's heavy Gonna find my good man Sam
