Washed By The Water

Damned old levy,
Well I knew that it would go.
Been talking about it,
Since before my daddy's born.
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.
Down here we're washed by the water,
The water can't wash us away.

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.

Gonna put it back together,
With our own two hands.
Ain't nobdoy gonna turn us around.
It's all a little empty,
And it all seems broken down.
Oh Lord we sure could use you now.

Now 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 in the water, water can't wash us away
Been washed by the water, water can't wash us away
Been washed by the water, water can't wash us away
Been washed in the water, water can't wash us away
Been washed in the water, water can't wash us away
Been washed in the water, water can't wash us away
Been washed in the water, water can't wash us away
Been washed in the water, water can't wash us away
Been washed in the water, water can't wash us away
Been washed in the water, water can't wash us away
No no no no no no no
Been washed in the water, water can't wash us away
Sing it like you mean it
Been washed in the water, water can't wash us away
No no no no
Been washed by the water, water can't wash us away
Been washed by the water, water can't wash us away
Been washed by the water, water can't wash us away
