When the Levee Breaks

I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan

I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me
If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break

And the water gonnna come in and we'll have no place to stay
Oh cryin' won't help you prayin' won't do no good
I worked on the levee mama both night and day

Oh cryin' won't help you prayin' won't do no good
And all these people will have no place to stay
I worked on the levee mama both night and day

Whenever the levee breaks mom you got to lose
I worked so hard to keep the water away
Now look here mama what am I, I to do?
I worked on the levee mama both night and day

If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break
I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to

Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Yeah the mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
I worked on the levee mama both night and day
Oh mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
I ain't got nobody to keep the water away

Now look here mama what am I to do?

I'm going back to my used to be
Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home
