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, woah
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
It's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home, oh well, oh well, oh well, wooh-ooh

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 goin' down to Chicago
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aahhh

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, nah
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you've got to move, ooh-ooh

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, ah-ohh

Aah, aah, aah, aah, aahhh
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aahhh

Uh... uh...

Goin'... goin' to Chicago... goin' to Chicago
Sorry but I can't take you uh
Goin' down, goin' down now, goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down, goin' down...
Ohhhh

Goin' down, goin' down now, goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down now, goin' down, goin' dow- dow- dow- dow down...
Wooh-ooh, wooh-ooh
