4. If it keeps on raining, the levee's gonna break. But when the levee breaks, we got no place to stay. 5. The mean old levee told me to weep and moan. You know I got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home. 6. Don't let it make you feel bad when you're trying to find your way and you don't know which way to go. But when you're going down south and there's no one to use, then you go down to Tupelo. 7. Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good. Cause when the levee breaks, mama, you got to move. Last night I sat on the levee and moaned. I'm thinking about my baby and my happy home. 8. Got to go to Tupelo. Got to go to Tupelo. She got to go to Tupelo. 9. Got to go to Tupelo.
