Текст песни When the Levee Breaks - Memphis Minnie , Kansas Joe McCoy

If it keeps on raining' levee's going to break
If it keeps on raining' levee's going to break
And the water gonna come, you'll have no place to stay
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moaned
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moaned
Thinkin' bout my baby and 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 will have no place to stay
I love you Mama, but what am I too do?
I love you Mama, but what am I too do?
I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to
I works on the levee, mama, both night and day
I works on the levee, mama, both night and day
I ain't got nobody to keep the water away
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama you got to move
I works on the levee, mama, both night and day
I works on the levee, mama, both night and day
I work so hard to keep the water away
I had a women, but she wouldn't do for me
I had a women, but 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
It's a mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
I'm gonna leave my baby and my happy home
