Keep on rainin', the levee's gonna break
Baby, keep on rainin', the levee's gonna break
When the levee breaks I'll have no place to stay, yeah
ย
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Mean old levee taught me how to weep and moan
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
Oh, well
ย
When you're goin' down south and you can't find your way
Don't know which way to go
When you're goin' downtown and you can't find no work
Come on back home to sweet Chicago
ย
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to go
All last night I sat on the levee and moaned
All last night I sat on the levee and moaned
Now I think about my baby and my happy home
Ah yeah

Going down
