When The Levee Breaks lyrics

If it keeps on rainin`, levee`s goin` to break
If it keeps on rainin`, levee`s goin` to break
And the water gonna come in, have no place to stay

Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Thinkin` `bout my baby and my happy home

If it keeps on rainin`, levee`s goin` to break
If it keeps on rainin`, levee`s goin` to break
And all these people have no place to stay

Now look here mama what am I to do
Now look here mama what am I to do
I ain`t got nobody to tell my troubles to

I works on the levee mama both night and day
I works on the levee mama both night and day
I ain`t got nobody, keep the water away

Oh cryin` won`t help you, prayin` won`t do no good
Oh cryin` won`t help you, prayin` won`t do no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to lose

I works on the levee, mama both night and day
I works on the levee, mama both night and day
I works so hard, to keep the water away

I had a woman, she wouldn`t do for me
I had a woman, she wouldn`t do for me
I`m goin` back to my used to be

I`s a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan
I`s a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan
Gonna leave my baby, and my happy home
