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  
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 go no work to do, 
If you don't know about Chicago. 
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, 
Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, 
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move. 
All last night sat on the levee and moaned, 
All last night sat on the levee and moaned, 
Thinkin' 'bout me baby and my happy home. 
Going, go'n' to Chicago, 
Go'n' 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 d-d-d-d-down 
Woo woo
