Sangtekst: Kristin Hersh. Other. When The Levee Breaks.

If it keeps on raining the levee's gotta break
If it keeps on raining the levee's gotta break
And if the levee breaks I got no place to stay

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan X2
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,

All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
Thinkin' 'bout me baby and my happy home.

Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
'Cause when the levee breaks, you got to move

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan X4
