Build A Levee - Remastered

Lyrics

When I was just a little girl
 My mamma said to me
 "Beware of the devil my chld
 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 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'll never keep"
 "You gotta build yourself a levee deep inside
 Build yourself a levee deep inside
 You gotta build yourself a levee deep inside
 Build yourself a levee girl
 when the waters run high"
