Danger Waters

And I holler why

And I holler why

And I holler why

The tortoise boy no mon ami!

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"

And I holler why

And I holler why

And I holler why

The tortoise boy no mon ami!

First we go in a room

Make me mama no know

Make me lie on a sofa

Make me have-a me labor

And I holler why

And I holler why

And I holler why

The tortoise boy no mon ami!

Give me back me shillin'

Give me back me shillin'

You can stand on your own feet now

Give me back me shillin'

And I holler why

And I holler why

And I holler why

The tortoise boy no mon ami!

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

And I holler why

And I holler why

And I holler why

The tortoise boy no mon ami!

And I holler why

And I holler why

And I holler why

The tortoise boy no mon ami!
