If it keeps on rainin'
Le-vee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin'
Le-vee's goin' to break
When the Le-vee breaks
I'll have no place to stay
Mean old le- vee
Taught me to weep and moan
Mean old le-vee
Taught me to weep and moan
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 tryin' to find your way home
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down south
They got no work to do,
If you're going north to Chi-ca-go
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Cryin' won't help you
Prayin' won't do you no good
Cryin' won't help you
Prayin' won't do you no good
When the le-vee breaks
Ma-ma, you got to move
Ooh
All last night
Sat on the le-vee and moaned
All last night
Sat on the le-vee and moaned
Think-in' 'bout my ba-by
And my hap-py home
Oh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Going, goin' to Chi- ca- go
Going to Chi-ca-go
Sor-ry but I can't take you
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down...
