When the Levee Breaks Lyrics & Tabs by Memphis Minnie
When the Levee Breaks
guitar chords lyrics
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
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
