Natalie Merchant - Build A Levee Lyrics
When I was just a little girl my mamma said to me,"beware of the devil my childIn the dark rocky places he'll keepBeware of the devil my childBeware of his charming waysYou'll fall under an evil spellJust looking at his beautiful faceYou gotta build yourself a levee deep inside""don't go walking by the riversideAlone in the pale moonlightHe'll come up upon you girlWith no earthy body in sightCome up upon you girlAnd he'll whisper something sweetThen take you where the waters riseSo high and run so deep.""you gotta build yourself a levee deep insideGotta build yourself a levee deep insideBuild 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 childBut if by chance you should meetBeware of his cold dark eyes full of bold and unholy deceitHe'll tempt you with a whirling pool of lies and promisesHe'll deny or that he will never keep""you gotta build yourself a levee deep insideGotta build yourself a levee deep insideBuild yourself a levee girl when the waters run high"
