WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS
(Page, Plant, Jones, Bonham)
If it keeps on rainin', levee's going to break
When the levee breaks, have no place to stay
Mean old levee, taught me to weep and moan
It's got what it takes to make a mountain-man leave his home
Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home
And you don't know which way to go ?
If you're goin' down south and they've no work to do
Then ya go north to Chicago
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move
All last night, sat on the levee and moaned
Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home
Goin', I'm goin' to Chicago, goin' to Chicago, I'm goin' to Chicago
Sorry, but I can't take you
Goin' down, goin' down, now, goin' down, goin' down, now, goin' down
