When the Levee Breaks

If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break

If it keeps on raining, the levee's going 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

It's got what it takes to make a monkey man leave his home

Oh well, oh well, oh well

Well, don't it make you feel bad when you're trying to find your way home

You don't know which way to go

If you're going down south, you got no work to do

If you gotta go to Chicago

Ah, ah, ah, no

Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good

No, crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good

When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move, ooh

All last night I sat on the levee and moaned

All last night, sat on the levee and moaned

Thinking about my baby and my happy home, oh

Going

I'm going to Chicago

I'm going to Chicago

Sorry, but I can't take you

Going down, going down now

Going down, going down now

Going down, going down, going down, going down

Going down, going down now

Going down, going down now

Going down, going down now

Going down, oh yeah
