If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break, (X2) |
|
When The Levee |
|
Breaks I'll have no place to stay. |
|
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, (X2) |
|
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, (X2) |
|
Thinkin' about me 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.... |
