About When The Levee Breaks:
Recorded on Annie St. during my "song a day" experiment.
Lyrics:
If it keeps on raining, the levee is gonna break.
When the levee breaks, I'll have no place to stay.
Mean old lady taught me to weep and moan.
She's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home.
Crying won't help you.
Praying won't do you no good.
Because when the levee breaks, mama you've got to move.
I'm going down to Chicago
