# When the Levee Breaks

* information about this edition.
* sister projects: Wikipedia article.
"When the Levee Breaks" is a blues song first recorded by Memphis Minnie and her then-husband Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. Transcribed from the original recording found on Memphis Minnie & Kansas Joe Vol. 1 (1929-1930).
If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break. If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break. And the water gonna come and I have no place to stay.
Well all last night, I sat on the lever and moaned.
Well all last night, I sat on the lever and moaned. Thinkin' 'bout my baby, and my happy home.
If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break. If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break. And all these people, have no place to stay.
Now look here, mama, what am I to do? Now look here, mama, now what I should do? I ain't got nobody, tell my troubles to.
I works on the levee, mama, both night and day. I works on the levee, mama, both night and day.
I ain't got nobody, keep the water away.
O, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do no good. Time, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do no good. When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.
I works on the levee, mama, both night and day. I works on the levee, mama, both night and day.
I works so hard, keep the water away.
I had a woman, she wouldn't do it for me. I had a woman, she wouldn't do it for me. I'm goin' back, to my used to be.
O, mean old levee, caused me to weep and moan. Yes, the mean old levee, caused me to weep and moan. Caused me to leave my baby, and my happy home.

# When the Midnight Choo-Choo Leaves for Alabam'

[1st verse]:
I've had a mighty busy day
I've had to pack my things away
Now I'm going to give the landlord back his key
The very key
That opened up my dreary flat
Where many weary nights I sat
Thinking of the folks down home who think of me
You can bet you'll find me singing happily
[chorus]:
When the midnight choo-choo leaves for Alabam'
I'll be right there
I've got my fare
When I see that rusty-haired conductor-man
I'll grab him by the collar
And I'll holler
"Alabam'! Alabam'!"
That's where you stop your train
That brings me back again
Down home where I'll remain
Where my honey-lamb am
I will be right there with bells
When that old conductor yells
"All aboard! All aboard!
All aboard for Alabam'"
[2nd verse]:
The minute that I reach the place
I'm goin' to overfeed my face
'Cause I haven't had a good meal since the day
I went away
I'm goin' to kiss my Pa and Ma
A dozen times for ev'ry star
Shining over Alabama's new mown hay
I'll be glad enough to throw myself away

# When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder

* related portals: Hymns.
* sister projects: Wikipedia article, Wikidata item.
"The song was inspired by the idea of The Book of Life mentioned in the Bible, and by the absence of a child in Black's Sunday school class when the attendance was taken. The idea of someone's being not in attendance in heaven haunted Black, and after visiting the child's home and calling on a doctor to attend her for pneumonia, he went home and wrote the song after not finding one on a similar topic in his hymn collection. The song's lyrics were first published in a [1893] collection titled Songs of the Soul". Warning: template has been deprecated.

Justice Stevens, concurring.
In my opinion, the normal, commonsense reading of a subsection of a criminal statute introduced by the word "knowingly" is to treat that adverb as modifying each of the elements of the offense identified in the remainder of the subsection. Title 18 U.S.C. § 2252(a)(1) (1988 ed. and Supp. V) reads as follows:
   "(a) Any person who—
   "(1) knowingly transports or ships in interstate or foreign commerce by any means including by computer or mails, any visual depiction, if—
   "(A) the producing of such visual depiction involves the use of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct; and
   "(B) such visual depiction is of such conduct." (Emphasis added.)
Surely reading this provision to require proof of scienter for each fact that must be proved is far more reasonable than adding such a requirement to a statutory offense that contains no scienter requirement whatsoever. Cf. Staples v. United States, 511 U.S. 600, 624 (1994) (Stevens, J., dissenting). Indeed, as the Court demonstrates, ante, at 69–70, to give the statute its most grammatically correct reading, and merely require knowledge that a "visual depiction" has been [p80] shipped in interstate commerce, would be ridiculous. Accordingly, I join the Court's opinion without qualification.

# United States v. Yates/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
47 U.S. 605
United States v. Yates
Upon the affidavits filed, the court will permit the attorney who has appeared for the appellees to withdraw his appearance. But this leave will not authorize a motion to dismiss for want of a citation, nor for mere irregularity in its service, provided the appeal is in other respects regularly brought up and authorized by law. The citation is merely notice to the party and his appearance in person or by attorney is an admission of notice on the record, and he cannot afterwards withdraw it.
But the appearance does not preclude the party from moving to dismiss for the want of jurisdiction, or any other sufficient ground, except for the one above mentioned. And a motion of that kind is, in the practice of this court, usually and most properly made by the attorney after his appearance is entered on the docket. And if such a motion is intended to be made in this case, the withdrawal of the appearance is not necessary to give the appellee a right to make it.
The serious objections which often exist to permitting an attorney to strike out his appearance for a defendant in a court exercising original jurisdiction, do not apply in an appellate court. And under the rules of this court, it is, in general, of no importance to the appellant, whether an appearance for the appellee is or is not entered on the record. For if he is entitled to his appeal, and has prosecuted it to this court according to law, the refusal or omission of the appellee to appear will not delay the trial, and a judgment against him will be as conclusive as if an appearance for him had been entered on the docket, and the case argued by his counsel.
On consideration of the motion by Mr. Baldwin, for leave to strike out his appearance, which had been improvidently entered (by an agent of his) for the appellees in this cause, and of the arguments of counsel thereupon had, as well against as in support of the motion, it is now here ordered by the court, that the leave prayed for be and the same is hereby granted.
The case was afterwards dismissed, upon the same grounds as in the preceding case of The United States v. Curry and Garland.
