When the Levee Breaks

If it keeps on rainin' that levee's goin' to break

If it keeps on rainin' that levee's goin' to break

And when the levee breaks you'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

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, no

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

All last night, I sat on the levee and moaned

All last night, I sat on the levee and moaned

Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy happy home
