When The Levee Breaks Songtext
von Robert Plant & Alison Krauss

So if it keeps on rainin′, levee's gonna break
If it keeps on rainin′, levee's gonna break
When the levee breaks, have no place to stay

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, yeah
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Well, it's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
Woo-hoo
Oh, yeah


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 levee breaks, mama, you got to move, woo-hoo

I'm goin' down, goin′ down now
Goin′ down, goin' down now
Goin′ down, goin' down now
Down, down, ooh-yeah

Alright, yeah
Alright, oh yeah

Oh, yeah
Mr. Nigel Eton, hurdy-gurdy
