One Woman And A Shovel - Carrie Newcomer[00:00:00]

Martha walked right down to the dam [00:00:15]

I hoe and a shovel in either hand [00:00:18]

She was bound to dig for every woman and man [00:00:21]

And child that lay sick with fever [00:00:24]

The government men said "Be our favorite sons [00:00:27]

Be a place of worth some where and someone [00:00:30]

If you drown this valley the canal boats will come "[00:00:33]

So they drowned their lovely valley [00:00:36]

But the waters grew black and the sickness came [00:00:40]

They hung their heads in grief and shame [00:00:42]

Martha said "We've only ourselves to blame "[00:00:45]

And took up a shovel and hoe Good Lord[00:00:48]

Took up a shovel and hoe [00:00:51]

When it's time to say enough and set things right [00:00:54]

The whole world is waist deep in trouble [00:00:57]

Never doubt or question the power of love [00:01:02]

Or one woman with a shovel [00:01:05]

Along came Elizabeth Sarah and Rose [00:01:21]

Eva Clara and Ruth[00:01:23]

They came with picks and shovels[00:01:26]

And hoes and armed with a righteous truth [00:01:28]

Join by Calvin Eli and Scott [00:01:33]

Timothy David and Paul [00:01:35]

And together before sun came up[00:01:38]

They tore down the cursed wall [00:01:41]

Yes yes[00:01:44]

They tore down the cursed wall [00:01:45]

When it's time to say enough and set things right [00:01:48]

The whole world is waist deep in trouble [00:01:51]

Never doubt or question the power of love [00:01:55]

Or one woman with a shovel [00:01:58]

The lake finally bled it's bad blood south [00:02:14]

And they'd saved that ravaged land [00:02:16]

Not a single soul jury or judge[00:02:19]

Think to fine or jail them [00:02:23]

Think to fine or jail them [00:02:26]

Martha walked right down to the dam [00:02:29]

Hoe and a shovel in either hand [00:02:32]

She was bound to dig for every woman and man [00:02:35]

Child who lay sick with fever [00:02:38]

When it's time to say enough and set things right [00:02:41]

The whole world is waist deep in trouble [00:02:44]

Never doubt or question the power of love [00:02:48]

Or one woman with a shovel [00:02:51]

Never doubt or question the power of love [00:02:54]

Or one woman with a shovel[00:02:57]
