If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break |
|
If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break |
|
And the water gonnna come in and we'll 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 |
|
Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home |
|
If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break |
|
If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break |
|
And all these people will have no place to stay |
|
Now look here mama what am I to do? |

Now look here mama what am I, I to do? |
|
I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to |
|
I worked on the levee mama both night and day |
|
I worked on the levee mama both night and day |
|
I ain't got nobody to keep the water away |
|
Oh cryin' won't help you prayin' won't do no good |
|
Oh cryin' won't help you prayin' won't do no good |
|
Whenever the levee breaks mom you got to lose |
|
I worked on the levee mama both night and day |
|
I worked on the levee mama both night and day |
|
I worked 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 |
|
Oh mean old levee taught me to weep and moan |
|
