"When The Levee Breaks" 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, 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
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

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
When the levee breaks, I'll 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 going down
Going down, going down
Going down, going down
Going down, no
Going down
