Danger Waters

  And I holler why, and I holler why
  And I holler why, the tortoise boy no mon ami

First he give me one, then he give me two
And he give me three and I holler "Lord have mercy"

First we go in a room, make me mama no know
Make me lie on a sofa, make me have-a me labor

Give me back me shillin', give me back me shillin'
You can stand on your own feet now, give me back me shillin'

Hold me tight, hold me tight, danger waters coming baby hold me tight
hold me tight, hold me tight, danger water coming, baby, hold me
