Lyrics

[Chorus]

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break

And when the levee breaks, I'll have no place to stay

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan

Well, it's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home

[Instrumental]

All last night sat on the levee and moaned

All last night sat on the levee and moaned

I'm thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home

[Instrumental]

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

And when the levee, ooh

[Instrumental]

I'm goin' to Chicago

I'm sorry, babe, but I can't take you

No, no, I'm going down

Going down, going down

Going down, going down

Going down, no

Going down
