When The Levee Breaks
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If it keeps on raining (if it keeps on raining),
If it keeps on raining (if it keeps on raining),
The levee's going to break (the levee's going to break),
The levee's going to break (the levee's going to break),
If it keeps on raining (if it keeps on raining),
The levee's going to break (the levee's going to break)
When the levee breaks, When the levee breaks,
When the levee breaks, We'll have no place to stay
Mean old levee (mean old levee),
Mean old levee (mean old levee),
Taught me how to weep and moan (taught me how to weep and moan),
Taught me how to weep and moan (taught me how to weep and moan),
Mean old levee (mean old levee),
Taught me how to weep and moan (taught me how to weep and moan)
When the levee breaks, When the levee breaks,
When the levee breaks, We'll have no place to stay
All last night (all last night),
All last night (all last night),
Sat on the levee alone (sat on the levee alone-oh crying won't help you),
Sat on the levee alone (sat on the levee alone-praying won't do no good,),
All last night (oh crying won't help you-all last night),
Sat on the levee alone (no crying won't help you no more-sat on the levee alone)
When the levee breaks, When the levee breaks,
When the levee breaks, We'll have no place to stay
