When the Levee Breaks
Cover of Kansas Joe McCoy & Memphis Minnie
Unreleased
Lyrics:
if it keeps on raining
levee's gunna break
if it keeps on raining
levee's gunna break
if the levee breaks,
i 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,

gunna make you feel better
when your trying to find your way home
and you dont know which way to go

if ya going down south
then you know what to do
better go down to chicago

Aaah, aaah.

Cryin' won't help you,
Prayin' won't do you no good,
Prayin' won't help you,
Cryin' 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 me baby
and my happy home.

oooh yeah yeah...

ahuh.

Aaah, aaah, aaah, aah...

goin... goin, gonna
gonna chicago
gonna chicago
sorry but i cant take you, oh
going down... (x10)

going down... (x4)
sorry but i cant take you, oh

goin down .. down... down, hey...
