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
Lord 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
A                    B      D    E
You don't know which way to go?
E                                      B
If you're goin' down South, they go no work to do
A                 B         D  E
If you don't know about Chicago

BREAK  REPEAT INTRO

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
Now, 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' 'bout my baby and my happy home
