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. It’s got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home. Ah well oh well oh well.

If you’re goin’ down South they got no work to do If you don’t know about Chicago. Goin’ goin’ to Chicago goin’ to Chicago sorry but I can’t take you. Going down going down now goining down going down now going down. Cryin’ won’t help you prayin’ won’t do you no good; cryin’ won’t help you prayin’ won’t do you no good. When the Levee breaks mama you got to move. All last night sat on the levee and moaned; all last night sat on the levee and moaned. Thinkin’ ’bout my baby and my happy home.
