When the Levee Breaks |
When the Levee Breaks
---------------------
If it keeps on rainin', levee's going to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's going to break
A-when the levee breaks, have no place to stay
Mean old levee, taught me to weep and moan and moan
Mean old levee, taught me to weep and moan
It's got what it takes to make a mountain-man leave his home
Oh, well-a, oh, well-a, oh, well-a, ooh-ooh
A-don't it make ya feel bad
when you're tryin' to find your way home
and ya 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, ah, 'eah, 'eah, hey
Cryin' won't help ya, prayin' won't do ya no good
Now, cryin' won't help ya, prayin' won't do ya no good
A-when the levee breaks, mama, you got to move, a-woo-hoo
All last night, sat on the levee and moaned
All last night, sat on the levee and moaned
Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home, oh-hoh
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ha
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ha
Oh, oh
Goin', I'm goin' to Chicago, goin' to Chicago
Sorry, but I can't take you
Goin' down, goin' down, now, goin' down, a-goin' down, now
Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down, goin' down, yeahh
Goin' down, goin' down, now, goin' down, goin' down, now
Goin' down, goin' down, now, goin' down
Goin' down, down, down, down, down
Ooh-woo-ooh, ooh-woo-ooh

I never knew Robert Plant was a 'prophet.' Is he related to Nostradamus?
To Isaiah?

Robert Plant didn't write these lyrics. They are based on a 1929 blues
song by Memphis Minnie.

Still, a great song, and the one (along with Planet of New Orleans by
Dire Straits) that kept going through my mind the last couple of days.

I've had this old classic, specifically the version off The Band's
_Last Waltz" with Dr. Hook
Down south in New Orleans prettiest girl I ever seen.
Sparklin' eyes, lips so sweet, We make the love to the rumba beat.
Ship's at anchor, my suitcase packed.
One way ticket, I ain't comin' back.
Down south in New Orleans
My dark eyed baby, I'm on my way.
Back into your arms to stay.
I'm tired of work, I want to play.
And I love you night and day.
Down south in New Orleans prettiest girl I ever seen.
Sparklin' eyes, lips so sweet, We make the love to the rumba beat.
Ship's at anchor, my suitcase packed.
One way ticket, I ain't comin' back.
Down south in New Orleans
I crave her smile that shines so bright.
Her beautiful teeth lights up the night.
Come on, skipper, I'm ready to ride.
I'm only waiting for the tide.
Down south in New Orleans prettiest girl I ever seen.
Sparklin' eyes, lips so sweet, We make the love to the rumba beat.
Ship's at anchor, my suitcase packed.
One way ticket, I ain't comin' back.
Down south in New Orleans
Yeah the moon is lighter and our hearts are, too.
Mighty good place to lose my blues, Wrapped up in my baby's arms.
I tell her of her many charms.
Down south in New Orleans prettiest girl I ever seen.
Sparklin' eyes, lips so sweet, We make the love to the rumba beat.
Ship's at anchor, my suitcase packed.
One way ticket, I ain't comin' back.
Down south in New Orleans
