One Man Nan 歌詞
One Man Nan - Ethel Waters
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
