Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Instrumental]
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
[Instrumental]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Instrumental]
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
[Instrumental]
Going down, going down now
Going down, going down now
Going down, going down now
Going down, oh yeah
