Lyrics

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
And when the levee breaks, have no place to stay
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Well, it's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
All last night, sat on the levee and moaned
All last night, sat on the levee and moaned
I'm thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home
Keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
Keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
And when the levee breaks, have no place to stay
And when the levee, ooh
I'm goin' to Chicago
I'm sorry, babe, but I can't take you
No, no, I'm goin' down
Goin' down, goin' down
Goin' down, now, goin' down
Goin' down, now, goin' down
Written by: Jimmy Page, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Memphis Minnie, Robert Plant
