When the levee breaks ...

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break, [X2]
When The Levee Breaks I'll have 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,
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.

Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down South
They go no work to do,
If you don't know about Chicago.

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
Now, 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, [X2]
Thinkin' about me baby and my happy home.
Going, going to Chicago... Going to Chicago... Sorry but I can't take you...
Going down... going down now... going down....

I wonder how bad the federal government is gonna fuck the folks in Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri? I hope they fare better than the citizens of NOLA did.





I did 6 weeks at Chanute AFB in Rantoul, Illinois when I was cross-training. We had 3 tornadoes. You'd never get me to live anywhere in the Midwest, let alone near a river. Fuck that shit. I'll deal with a hurricane any day.
