[01:13.08]If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break, (X2)
[01:26.85]When The Levee
[01:27.93]Breaks I'll have no place to stay.
[01:30.81]Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, (X2)
[01:51.87]Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
[01:54.21]Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.
[02:32.97]Don't it make you feel bad
[02:34.62]When you're tryin' to find your way home,
[02:39.63]You don't know which way to go?
[02:40.23]If you're goin' down
[02:40.74]South They go no work to do,
[02:41.46]If you don't know about
[02:42.03]Chicago. Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
[04:09.90]Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
[04:15.90]When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.
[04:26.79]All last night sat on the levee and moaned, (X2)
[04:41.19]Thinkin' about me baby and my happy home.
[05:44.73]Going, going to
[05:45.03]Chicago...

[05:48.63]Sorry but
[06:06.99]I can't take you...

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break, (X2)
When The Levee
Breaks I'll have no place to stay.
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, (X2)
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.
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 go no work to do,
If you don't know about
Chicago. 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.
All last night sat on the levee and moaned, (X2)
Thinkin' about me baby and my happy home.
Going, going to
Chicago...
Going to Chicago...
Sorry but
I can't take you...
Going down... going down now... going down....
