When the Levee Breaks Lyrics
When The Levee Breaks - Memphis Minnie/Kansas Joe
Written by：Douglas/Lizzie/McCoy/Kansas Joe
If it keeps on rain
Levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rain
Levee's goin' to break
And the water conserve
I don't play today
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
I don't play today
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 worked on the levee
Mama both night and day
I worked on the levee
Mama both night and day
I ain't got nobody
To keep the water away
Oh cryin' won't help to
You prayin' won't do no good
When let it pray
Mom you got to lose
I wake on the levee
Mama both night and day
I wake on the levee
Mama both night and day
I wake 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 going back
To my used to be
Oh mean old levee
Taught me to weep and moan
'Cause I mean old levee
Taught me to weep and
Moan
Told leave my baby
And my happy home
