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
