One man Nan a gal from Alabama

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 sinking

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 slopping on the ground

Ripped up trees

Roots and all

Just like a cannon ball

She outran her shadow

Left it far behind

Got it running sideways

Just to keep from flying

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 sinking

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
