If it keeps on rainin`, levee`s goin` to break, X2
When The Levee Breaks I`ll have no place to stay
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, X2
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well
Don`t it make you feel bad
When you`re tryin` to find your way home
You don`t know which way to go
If you`re goin` down South
They go no work to do
If you don`t know about Chicago
Cryin` won`t help you, prayin` won`t do you no good
Now, 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, X2
Thinkin` about me 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
