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. 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. All last night. sat on the levee and moaned. Thinkin' about my baby and my happy home.. Going going to Chicago... Going to Chicago.... Sorry but I can't take you...
