When The Levee Breaks

(album: B-Side Themselves - 2000)

If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break,
If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break,
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,
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Don't they make you feel bad
When you're trying to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go
If you're going down South
Then 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,
Ooh, crying won't help you, praying 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,
I said left my baby and my happy home.
Going, going' to Chicago,
Going' to Chicago,
Sorry but I can't take you.
Going down, going down now, going down.
Don't they make you feel bad
When you're trying to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go
If you're going down South
Then there's no work to do,
And you're going on to Chicago.
To Chicago
Going down, going down, going down
