When the Levee Breaks lyrics

[Verse 1]
If it keeps on raining, if it keeps on raining
If it keeps on raining, if it keeps on raining
The levee's going to break, the levee's going to break
The levee's going to break, the levee's going to break
If it keeps on raining, if it keeps on raining
The levee's going to break, the levee's going to break

[Chorus]
When the levee breaks, when the levee breaks
When the levee breaks, you'll have no place to stay

[Verse 2]
Mean old levee, mean old levee
Mean old levee, mean old levee
Taught me how to weep and moan
Taught me how to weep and moan
Mean old levee, mean old levee
Taught me how to weep and moan
Taught me how to weep and moan

[Chorus]
When the levee breaks, when the levee breaks
When the levee breaks, you'll have no place to stay

[Verse 3]
All last night, all last night
All last night, all last night
Sat on the levee and moaned
(Oh, crying won't help you) sat on the levee and moaned
Sat on the levee and moaned
Praying won't do you no good (I sat on the levee and moan)
All last night
Oh, crying won't help you (I sat on the levee and moan)
Praying won't do you no good (I sat on the levee and moan)
[Chorus]
When the levee breaks, when the levee breaks
When the levee breaks, you'll have no place to stay
