When The Levee Breaks Lyrics

When The Levee Breaks lyrics

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break (2x)

And the water gonna
come in, have no place to stay



Well all last night I sat on the
levee and moan (2x)

Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home



If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break (2x)

And all these
people have no place to stay



Now look here mama what am I to do
(2x)

I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to



I works on
the levee mama both night and day (2x)

I ain't got nobody, keep the water
away



Oh cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do no good (2x)

When the levee breaks, mama, you got to lose



I works on the
levee, mama both night and day (2x)

I works so hard, to keep the water
away



I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me (2x)

I'm goin'
back to my used to be



I's a mean old levee, cause me to weep and
moan (2x)

Gonna leave my baby, and my happy home
