When the Levee Breaks - Intellectual

[Instrumental Intro]

If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break

If it keeps on raining, the levee's going to break

When the levee breaks, have no place to stay

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, oh

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, ooh

Oh, don't it make you feel bad

When you're trying to find your way home?

You don't know which way to go

If you're going down south

They got no work to do

If you're going north to Chicago

Ah, ah, ah, hey

Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good

No, crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good

When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move, ooh

All last night I sat on the levee and moaned

All last night, sat on the levee and moaned

I'm thinking about my baby and my happy home

Oh-ho

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah

Oh, oh

Going

I'm going to Chicago

Going to Chicago

Sorry, but I can't take you, ah

Going down, going down now

Going down, I'm going down now

Going down, going down

Oh...

Going down, going down now

Going down, going, dow- dow- dow- dow- down, now

Ooh, ooh
