If it keeps on raining levee's going to break
If it keeps on raining levee's going to break
When the levee breaks have no place to stay
Ooh, Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Oh, Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
I, 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 you don't know which way to go?
If you're going down south and there's no work to do
And you're going on to Chicago
Ahh Ahh Ahh Hey hey hey
Repeat 9x
Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move a whoo- hoo
All last night sat on the levee and moaned
All last night sat on the levee and moaned
Thinking about my baby and my happy home
Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
Oh Oh
