If it keeps on raining, the levee's going to break
If it keeps on raining, the levee's going to break
When the levee breaks, I'll have no place to stay
That mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
That mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
When the levee breaks, taking my happy home
Oh well, oh well
Don't it make you feel bad
When you're trying to find your way home
And you don't know which way to go?
If you're going down South, you know what to do
You got to go to Chicago
Oh, oh, oh, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah
Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
'Cause when the levee breaks, baby, you got to move
Late last night, I sat on the levee and moaned
Late last night, I sat on the levee and moaned
When the levee breaks, baby, I got to go
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, baby, got to go
When the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
Going
Going
I'm going down to Chicago
Going to Chicago
Going to Chicago
Going down, going down
Going down, going down
Going down, going down
Going down, going down
Oh, baby, I got to go
Home town Chicago
