A Perfect Circle - When The Levee Breaks

If it keeps on rainin, levees goin to break
If it keeps on rainin, levees goin to break
And the water gonna come in, have no place to stay

Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Thinkin bout my baby and my happy home

If it keeps on rainin, levees goin to break
If it keeps on rainin, levees goin to break
And all these people have no place to stay

Now look here mama what am I to do
Now look here mama what am I to do
I aint got nobody to tell my troubles to

I works on the levee mama both night and day
I works on the levee mama both night and day
I aint got nobody, keep the water away

Oh cryin wont help you, prayin wont do no good
Oh cryin wont help you, prayin wont do no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to lose

I works on the levee, mama both night and day
I works on the levee, mama both night and day
I works so hard, to keep the water away

I had a woman, she wouldnt do for me
I had a woman, she wouldnt do for me
Im goin back to my used to be

Is a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan
Is a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan
Gonna leave my baby, and my happy home
