Build a Levee |
| When I was just a little girl |
| My mamma said to me |
| «Beware of the devil my child |
| In the dark rocky places he’ll keep |
| Beware of the devil my child |
| Beware of his charming ways |
| You’ll fall under an evil spell |
| Just looking at his beautiful face |
| You gotta build yourself a levee deep inside» |
| «Don't go walking by the riverside |
| Alone in the pale moonlight |
| He’ll come up upon you girl |
| With no earthy body in sight |
| Come up upon you girl |
| And he’ll whisper something sweet |
| Then take you where the waters rise |
| So high and run so deep.» |
| «You gotta build yourself a levee deep inside |
| Gotta build yourself a levee deep inside |
| Build yourself a levee girl when the waters run high» |
| Now when I was just a little girl |
| My mamma said to me |
| «Beware of the devil my child |
| But if by chance you should meet |
| Beware of his cold dark eyes full of bold and unholy deceit |
| He’ll tempt you with a whirling pool of lies and promises |
| He’ll deny or that he will never keep» |
