when the levee breaks..

If it keeps on raining levee's going to break..
When the levee breaks have no place to stay..

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan ..
Got what it takes to make a Mountain Man leave his home..

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?
when you're going down south and there's no work to do ,,

And you're going on to Chicago ...

Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good..

When the levee breaks, mama, you got to go

All last night sat on the levee and moaned ,,
Thinking about my baby and my happy home ....

Going to Chicago...

Sorry, but I can't take you .... i cant take you... my lovely khoci.. :)
