If it keeps on rain-in'
Lev-ee's go-in' to break
If it keeps on rain-in'
Lev-ee's go-in' to break
When the Lev-ee breaks
I'll have no place to stay
I'll have no place to stay
Mean old lev-ee taught me to weep and moan
Mean old lev-ee taught me to weep and moan
It's got what it takes to make a
Moun-tain man leave his home
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well
Don't it make you feel bad
When you're try-in' to find your way home
You don't know which way to go?
If you're go-in' down south
They got no work to do,
If you don't know a-bout Chi-ca-go
Cry-in' won't help you
Pray-in' won't do you no good
Cry-in' won't help you
Pray-in' won't do you no good
When the lev-ee breaks
Ma-ma, you got to move
Ma-ma, you got to move
All last night
Sat on the lev-ee and moaned
All last night
Sat on the lev-ee and moaned
Think-in' 'bout my ba-by
And my hap-py home
Oh well, oh well, oh well
Go-ing, go-in' to Chi-ca- go
Go'n' to Chi-ca- go
Sor-ry but I can't take you
Go-in' down, go-in' down now
Go-in' down, go-in' down now
Go-in' down
Go-in' down
