When the Levee Breaks |
| 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… |
