If 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
I worked on the levee, mama goin' night and day
I worked on the levee, mama goin' night and day
Never worked so hard, levee's wonderin' away
Oh no, oh no Oh no, oh no
Mean old levee, taught me to weep and moan
Mean old levee, taught me to weep and moan
It's got what it takes, gotta leave his home
Crying won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
Crying won't help you, mama prayin' won't do you no good
When the levee breaks, baby you've gotta move, gotta move now
Keep on cryin', keep on truckin' along
Keep on grindin', keep on truckin' along
Been diggin' thousand years, like she never ever comin' home, oh well now
Goin' home, goin' home
Goin' home, goin' home
Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home
Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home
Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home
