When The Levee Breaks — текст песни (blues traveler)

Memphis minnie



If it keeps on raining, the levees going to break,

If it keeps on raining, the levees going to break,

When the levee breaks Ill have no place to stay.



Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,

Lord, mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,

Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home



Dont it make you feel bad

When youre tryin to find your way home,

You dont know which way to go?

If youre goin down south

They go no work to do,

If you dont know about chicago.



Cryin wont help you, prayin wont do you no good,

Now, cryin wont help you, prayin wont 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 bout me baby and my happy home.

Going, goin to chicago,

Goin to chicago,

Sorry but I cant take you.

Going down, going down now, going down.
