When the Levee Breaks Lyrics

When the Levee Breaks (Memphis Minnie) 6:08

Well, if it keeps on raining
Levee's going to break
If it keeps on raining
Levee's going to break
And when the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
There won't be no place to stay

Mean old levee
Taught me to weep and moan
Mean old levee
Taught me to weep and moan

When the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
Make a mountain man leave his home
All last night
Sat on the levee and cried
All last night
Sat on the levee and cried

When the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
There won't be no place to hide

When the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
There won't be no place to ...
I'm going down
I'm going down
I'm going down
I'm going down
I'm going down
I'm going down
I'm going down, going down, going down, going down

I'm going down now
I'm going down now
I'm going down
Ah....the levee breaks
