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 the water gonnna come in and we'll have no place to stay
 Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
 Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
 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
 And all these people will have no place to stay
 Now look here mama what am I to do?
 Now look here mama what am I, I to do?
 I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to
 I worked on the levee mama both night and day
 I worked on the levee mama both night and day
 I ain't got nobody to keep the water away
 Oh cryin' won't help you prayin' won't do no good
 Oh cryin' won't help you prayin' won't do no good
 Whenever the levee breaks mom you got to lose
 I worked on the levee mama both night and day
 I worked on the levee mama both night and day
 I worked so hard to keep the water away
 I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me
 I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me
 I'm going back to my used to be
 Oh mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
 Yeah the mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
 Told me leave my baby and my happy home
