When The Levee Breaks

When The Levee Breaks - Kansas Joe/Henry Whitter/Clayton McMichen

If it keeps on raining levee's going to break

If it keeps on raining levee's going to break

And the water gonnna come in and we'll have no place to stay

Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan

Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan

Thinking about my baby and my happy home

If it keeps on raining levee's going to break

If it keeps on raining levee's going to break

And all these people have no place to stay

Now look here mama what am I to do

Now look here mama what am I 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 crying won't help you praying won't do no good

Oh crying won't help you praying won't do no good

Whenever the levee breaks momma you got to lose

I worked on the levee mama both night and day

I worked on the levee mama both night and day

They worked 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

Yeah the mean old levee taught me to weep and moan

Told me leave my baby and my happy home
