If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break
If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break
When the levee breaks i've got 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
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
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, you got to move
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
