When the Levee Breaks

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 Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah Don't they 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 Then there's no work to do And you're going on to Chicago Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good Ooh, 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 I said left my baby and my happy home Going, going' to Chicago Going' to Chicago Sorry but I can't take you Going down, going down now, going down Don't they 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 Then there's no work to do And you're going on to Chicago To Chicago Going down, going down, going down
