If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
|
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
|
When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay.
|
|
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
|
Lord, mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
|
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
|
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.
|
|
Don't it make you feel bad
|
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
|
You don't know which way to go?
|
If you're goin' down South
|
They go no work to do,
|
If you don't know about Chicago.
|
|
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
|
Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
|
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.
|
|
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
|
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
|
Thinkin' 'bout me baby and my happy home.
|
Going, go'n' to Chicago,
|
Go'n' to Chicago,
|
Sorry but I can't take you.
|
Going down, going down now, going down.
