If it keep on raining the levee's going to break
If it keep on raining the levee's going to break
When the levee break we'll have no place to stay
Mean old levee taught me how to weep and moan
Mean old levee taught me how to weep and moan
When the levee break, I'll find no happy home
Crying won't help you, praying won't make you feel good
When the levee break, mama, you got to go
You know it!
All last night I sat on this old levee by myself
All last night I sat on this old levee by myself
I was thinking about my baby and my happy home
