When the levee breaks Lyrics

If it keeps on raining, the levee's gonna break.
If it keeps on raining, the levee's gonna break.
When the levee breaks, got no place to stay.
When the levee breaks, got 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 happy man leave his home.
It's got what it takes to make a happy man leave his home.
Cryin' won't help ya, and prayin' won't do ya no good
Cryin' won't help ya, and prayin' won't do ya no good

When the levee breaks, mama ya gotta move.
When the levee breaks, mama ya gotta move.
All last night, sat on the levee and moaned
All last night, sat on the levee and moaned
Think ya got my baby, got my happy home.
I'm going down
I'm going down
I'm going down now
I'm going down
I'm going down now, going down
