When The Levee Breaks

Led Zeppelin

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

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, moan yeah
Lord, mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
It's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
Oh well, oh well, oh well, ahh, ooh-ooh

Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home
You don't know which way to go
If you're goin' down South
They got no work to do
If you goin' on to Chicago

Ahh ahh ahh, ahh ahh ahh, ahh ahh ahh, hey hey hey

(Harmonica Solo)

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move, whoo-hoo

All last night sat on the levee and moaned
All last night sat on the levee and moaned
Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home, oh ohh-oh

Ahh-ahh-ahh ahh-ahh-ahh ahh-ahh-ahh, ah ah ah
Ahh-ahh-ahh ahh-ahh-ahh ahh-ahh-ahh, ah ah ah
Oh, oh

Going, go'n' to Chicago
Go'n' to Chicago
Sorry but I can't take you
Going down, going down now
Going down, going down now
Going down, going down
Going down, going down

Going down, going down now
Going down, going down now
Going down, going down now
Going down, going down down down down, down now, whoo-ooh whoo-ooh
