One Man Nan

William L. Russell, Edward Herbert

[Verse]
"One Man" Nan, a gal from Alabam'
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 got the news
She started down the road and sang these weary blues

[Chorus]
I'm goin' 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
The very thought of Sam sinkin', that's my cup
It's gonna be my place to pick him up
I'm goin' down to the levee where the water's heavy
Gonna find my "Good Man" Sam

[Bridge]
"One Man" Nan, levee bound
Feet flip-floppin' on the ground
Ripped up trees, roots and all
Just like a cannonball
She outran her shadow
Left it far behind
Started runnin' sideways
Just to keep from flyin'
Folks for miles round about
Heard old Nanny shout

[Chorus]
I'm goin' 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
The very thought of Sam sinkin', that's my cup
It's gonna be my place to pick him up
I'm goin' down to the levee where the water's heavy
Gonna find my "Good Man" Sam
