When the Levee Breaks

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

If it keeps on raining, 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, Lord

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan

It's 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 trying to find your way home

And you don't know which way to go?

If you're going down south

And they've no work to do

Then you go north to Chicago

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

Now, 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, sat on the levee and moaned

All last night, sat on the levee and moaned

Thinking 'bout my baby and my happy home

Oh-oh

Going

I'm going to Chicago

Going to Chicago

Sorry, but I can't take you, ah

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, going down, down, down, down, down, now
