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, Lord Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan It's 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 got no work to do If you're going down to Chicago A-ah, a-ah, a-ah Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good No, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move, ooh All last night sat on the levee and moaned All last night sat on the levee and moaned Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home Ah-oh Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Goin' I'm goin' to Chicago Goin' to Chicago Sorry, but I can't take you, ahhh Goin' down, goin' down now Goin' down, goin' down now Goin' down, goin' down Goin' down, goin' down Goin' down, goin' down now Goin' down, goin' down now Goin' down, goin' down now Goin' down, goin' down-down-down-down-down
