Monette Moore — Goin Down To The Levee

[Verse] "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 When "One Man" Nan heard the news She started down the road and sang these weary blues [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 [Bridge] "One Man" Nan, levee bound Feet flip-flopping on the ground Ripped out trees, roots and all Just like a cannonball She outran her shadow Left it far behind Started running sideways Just to keep from flying Folks for miles round about Heard old Nanny shout [Chorus] I'm going down to the levee Where the water's heavy 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
