When The Levee Breaks (Album Version) - Memphis Minnie/Kansas Joe

作词：Minnie Mccoy/Joe Mccoy

作曲：Minnie Mccoy/Joe Mccoy

If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break

If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break

And the water gonnna come in

And we'll have no place to stay

Well all last night I sat on

the levee and moan

Well all last night I sat on

the levee and moan

Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home

If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break

If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break

And all these people will have

no place to stay

Now look here mama what am I to do

Now look here mama what am I I to do

I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to

I worked on the levee mama

both night and day

I worked on the levee mama

both night and day

I ain't got nobody to keep the water away

Oh cryin' won't help you prayin'

won't do no good

Oh cryin' won't help you prayin'

won't do no good

Whenever the levee breaks mom

you got to lose

I worked on the levee mama

both night and day

I worked on the levee mama

both night and day

I worked so hard to keep the water away

I had a woman she wouldn't do for me

I had a woman she wouldn't do for me

I'm going back to my used to be

Oh mean old levee taught me to

weep and moan

Yeah the mean old levee taught me

to weep and moan

Told me leave my baby and my happy home
