Led Zeppelin When The Levee Breaks song lyrics

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

It's 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

You don't know which way to go?

If you're goin' down south

They got no work to do

If you're going down to Chicago.

A-ah, a-ah, a-ah.

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good

No, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good

When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move, ooh.

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

Ah-oh

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Goin'

I'm goin' to Chicago

Goin' to Chicago

Sorry, but I can't take you, ahhh

Goin' down, goin' down now

Goin' down, goin' down now

Goin' down, goin' down

Goin' down, goin' down.

Goin' down, goin' down now

Goin' down, goin' down now

Goin' down, goin' down now

Goin' down, goin' down-down-down-down-down.
