Damned old levy
Well they knew that it would go
Been talking about it
Since before my daddy's born
Ain't nobody listens to what a poor man has to say
But down here we're washed by the water
The water can't wash us away
Now I hear people talkin'
Say I should have up and gone
But I ain't got nothing but this place
To call my home
My father and his father
Stay until their dying days
Down here we're washed by the water
The water can't wash us away
Down here we're washed by the water
The water can't wash us away
We'll put it back together
With our own two hands
Ain't nobody gonna turn us around
It's oddly a little empty
And it all seems broken down
Oh lord we sure could use you now
Then the president came down
And said this is awful sad
But ain't no words from that man
Gonna bring us nothing back
And in the ghost of church bells
I hear my momma say
Down here we're washed by the water
The water can't wash us away
Down here we're washed by the water
The water can't wash us away
Been washed by the water, the water can't wash us away
Been washed by the water, the water can't wash us away
Been washed by the water, the water can't wash us away (everybody sing)
Been washed by the water, the water can't wash us away (can't wash us away)
Been washed by the water, the water can't wash us away (can't wash us away)
Been washed by the water, the water can't wash us away (no no no no no no)
Been washed by the water, water can't wash us away (can't wash us away)
Been washed by the water, water can't wash us away (one more time)
Been washed by the water, water can't wash us away
