When the Levee Breaks - Memphis Minnie
If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break
And the water gonnna come in
And we'll have no place to stay
Well all last night I sat on
The levee and moan
Well all last night I sat on
The levee and moan
Thinkin' about my baby
And my happy home
If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break
And all these people will
Have no place to stay
Now look here mama what am I to do
Now look here mama what am I I to do
I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to
I worked on the levee mama
Both night and day
I worked on the levee mama
Both night and day
I ain't got nobody to keep the water away
Oh cryin' won't help you prayin'
Won't do no good
Oh cryin' won't help you prayin'
Won't do no good
Whenever the levee breaks mom
You got to lose
I worked on the levee mama
Both night and day
I worked on the levee mama
Both night and day
I worked so hard to keep the water away
I had a woman she wouldn't do for me
I had a woman she wouldn't do for me
I'm going back to my used to be
Oh mean old levee taught me
To weep and moan
Yeah the mean old levee taught me
To weep and moan
Told me leave my baby
And my happy home
