The Levee (Album Version)

The Levee (大堤) - Jonny Lang

Written by：Jonny Lang/Kevin Bowe

I have been to Memphis

But I couldn't find no peace

My soul is feeling restless

And I need some relief

I'm heading for the Delta

See what I can find

I know the river holds

The answers

To the question to my mind

Awoo

Take me down

To the levee where the women sing

Lay me down

Like an angel with a broken wing

Take me down

To the levee where the river flows

Gon' throw my blues off

The levee and let them go

Owoo hooo

I been fail the Natchez

Down to Baton Rouge

You see the river keeps on callin' me

No matter what I do

Matter what I do

Take me down

To the levee where the women sing

Lay me down

Like an angel with a broken wing

Take me down

To the levee where the river flows

Gon' throw my blues off

The levee and let them go

I'm drivin' through the darkness

Highway 61

Heading for the crossroads

Like the ones before me done

Take me down

To the levee where the women sing

Lay me down

Like an angel with a broken wing

Take me down

To the levee where the river flows

Gon' throw my blues off

The levee and let them go

I'm gone let them go yeah
