When the Levee Breaks

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, you'll have no place to stay Well all last night I sat on the levee and moaned Well all last night I sat on the levee and moaned Thinkin' bout my baby and 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 will have no place to stay I love you Mama, but what am I too do? I love you Mama, but what am I too do? I ain't got nobody to 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 to keep the water away Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you 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 work so hard to keep the water away I had a women, but she wouldn't do for me I had a women, but 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 It's a mean old levee taught me to weep and moan I'm gonna leave my baby and my happy home
