If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break,
|
If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break,
|
And the water gonna come in, have no place to stay
|
|
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan,
|
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan,
|
Thinking about my baby and my happy home,
|
|
If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break,
|
If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break,
|
And all these people have no place to stay
|
|
Now look here mama what am I to do?,
|
Now look here mama what am I to do?,
|
I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to
|
|
I works on the levee mama both night and day,
|
I works on the levee mama both night and day,
|
I ain't got nobody, keep the water away
|
|
Oh crying won't help you, praying won't do no good,
|
Oh crying won't help you, praying won't do no good,
|
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to lose
|
|
I works on the levee, mama both night and day,
|
I works on the levee, mama both night and day,
|
I works so hard, to keep the water away
|
|
I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me,
|
I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me,
|
I'm going back to my used to be
|
|
It's a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan
|
It's a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan
|
Gonna leave my baby, and my happy home
|
