Kristin Hersh When the Levee Breaks lyrics

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
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
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' about me baby and my happy home


Crying won't help you, praying won't do you good
Crying won't help you, praying won't do you good
'Cause when the levee breaks, you got to move

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
