Yes, when the levee broke now baby
Dirty water come rushing in (repeat)
Yes, it washed away my happy home baby
I hope it washed away my sins
I searched all over for my baby
But my sweet angel was not around (repeat)
Lord, when I found my baby
They had her down at the burying grounds
Lord, when you hear me weep'n moan'n
It's because I ain't got a thang to loose
Yes when you hear me weep'n moan'n now baby
I ain't got a d*** thang to loose
Baptized in dirty water now baby
All I can do is sang the blues
Dirty water come rushing in (repeat)
Yes, it washed away my happy home baby
I hope it washed away my sins
I searched all over for my baby
But my sweet angel was not around (repeat)
Lord, when I found my baby
They had her down at the burying grounds
Lord, when you hear me weep'n moan'n
It's because I ain't got a thang to loose
Yes when you hear me weep'n moan'n now baby
I ain't got a d*** thang to loose
Baptized in dirty water now baby
All I can do is sang the blues
