- When The Levee Breaks Lyrics / with translationsIf it keeps on raining levee's going to break
If it keeps on raining levee's going to break
When the levee breaks 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
Oh, well; oh, well; oh, well.
Don't it make you feel bad?
When you're trying to find your way home you don't know which way to go?
When you're going down south and there's no work to do
And you're going on to Chicago
Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to go
All last night sat on the levee and moaned
All last night sat on the levee and moaned
Thinking about my baby and my happy home
Going - going to Chicago
Going to Chicago
Sorry, but I can't take you
Going down - going down, now
Going down - going down, now
Going down
Going down
Going down
Going down
Going down - going down, now
Going down - going down, now
Going down - going down, now
Going down
Going dow-, dow-, dow-, dow-, down, now
If it keeps on raining levee's going to break
When the levee breaks 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
Oh, well; oh, well; oh, well.
Don't it make you feel bad?
When you're trying to find your way home you don't know which way to go?
When you're going down south and there's no work to do
And you're going on to Chicago
Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
All last night sat on the levee and moaned
All last night sat on the levee and moaned
Thinking about my baby and my happy home
Going - going to Chicago
Going to Chicago
Sorry, but I can't take you
Going down - going down, now
Going down - going down, now
Going down
Going down
Going down
Going down
Going down - going down, now
Going down - going down, now
Going down - going down, now
Going down
Going dow-, dow-, dow-, dow-, down, now
