[00:00.68]One Man Nan - Ethel Waters
[00:15.46]One man Nan, a gal from Alabama
[00:20.74]Never loved but good man Sam
[00:25.53]Good Man Sam slipped off the levee one day
[00:30.53]He fell into the river, then he faded away
[00:35.30]When One Man Nan got the news
[00:40.52]She started down the road and sang these weary blues
[00:45.85]I'm going down to the levee
[00:49.67]Where the water's heavy
[00:52.47]Gonna find my good man Sam
[00:57.45]I made a vow when I got him
[01:01.15]That I'd never drop him
[01:04.65]When he was in a jam
[01:09.22]Somebody told of Sam's sinking
[01:13.03]That's my cup
[01:15.60]It's gonna be my place to pick him up
[01:20.91]I'm going down to the levee
[01:24.98]Where the water's heavy
[01:27.87]Gonna find my good man Sam
[01:37.93]One man Nan
[01:39.51]Levee bound
[01:40.95]Keeps slip slopping on the ground
[01:44.04]Ripped up trees
[01:45.57]Roots and all
[01:47.15]Just like a cannon ball
[01:50.38]She outran her shadow
[01:53.19]Left it far behind
[01:56.14]Got it running sideways
[01:59.05]Just to keep from flying
[02:01.96]Folks for miles round about
[02:04.95]Heard old nanny shout
[02:08.75]I'm going down to the levee
[02:12.15]Where the water's heavy
[02:15.19]Gonna find my good man Sam
[02:19.97]I made a vow when I got him
[02:23.86]That I'd never drop him
[02:26.87]When he was in a jam
[02:31.51]Somebody told of Sam's sinking
[02:35.25]That's my cup
[02:37.92]It's gonna be my place to pick him up
[02:43.16]I'm going down to the levee
[02:47.13]Where the water's heavy
[02:49.91]Gonna find my good man Sam
