Lyrics
Me got fire, can't put it out
Drink fire-water, gonna make me shout
I'm goin' down to get my squaw
We gon' buy a great big car
Me big chief, me feel-um good
Me gon' do everything me could
Me big chief, me got-um tribe
Me gonna take 'em for a ride
My spy boy just went by
My flag boy is full of fire
My whole tribe is having fun
We gon' dance 'til morning come
Me big chief, me got my band
Girls in wild rags, near Tremayne
Me big chief, me got papoose
Drink fire-water, get me blues
Me big chief, me feel-um good
Me gon' do everything me could
[Instrumental]
Fire in the levee, burning down
(Fire in the levee, burning down)
Fire in the levee, burning down
(Fire in the levee, burning down)
Fire in the levee, burning down
(Fire in the levee, burning down)
Fire in the levee, burning down
(Fire in the levee, burning down)
Fire in the levee, burning down
(Fire in the levee, burning down)
Fire in the levee, burning down
(Fire in the levee, burning down)
Fire in the levee, burning down
(Fire in the levee, burning down)
Fire in the levee, burning down
(Fire in the levee, burning down)
Fire in the levee, burning down
(Fire in the levee, burning down)
Fire in the levee, burning down
(Fire in the levee, burning down)
Fire in the levee, burning down
(Fire in the levee, burning down)
Fire in the levee, burning down
