John Campbell - When the Levee Breaks Lyrics

Lyrics When the Levee Breaks - John Campbell



If it keeps on rainin′, levee's goin′ to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin′ to break
When the levee breaks I′ll have no place to stay
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well
Don't it make you feel bad
When you′re tryin' to find your way home
You don′t know which way to go?
If you're goin′ down South
They got no work to do
If you're going North to Chicago.
Cryin' won′t help you, prayin′ won't do you no good... no
Cryin′ won't help you, prayin′ won't do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move
All last night sat on the levee and moaned
All last night sat on the levee and moaned
Thinkin′ about my baby and my happy home
Going, going to Chicago. Going to Chicago.
Sorry but I can't take you.
Going down. going down now. going down...
