When the Levee Breaks

If it keeps on rainin'

Levees going to break

When the Levee Breaks

By Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie

If it keeps on rainin'

Levee's going to break

If it keeps on rainin'

Levees going to break

And when the levee breaks

I'll have no place to stay

Cryin' won't help ya

Prayin wont do ya no good

Cryin' won't help ya

Prayin' won't do ya no good

And when the levee breaks

Mama you got to move

All last night

I sat on the levee and moaned

All last night

I sat in the levee and moaned

Thinkin' about my baby and

My happy home
