Bob Dylan - The Levee`s Gonna Break

If it keep on rainin'
the levee gonna break
If it keep on rainin'
the levee gonna break
Everybody saying this is a
day only the Lord could make
Well I worked on the levee
Mama both night and day
I worked on the levee
Mama both night and day
I got to the river and I
threw my clothes away
I paid my time and now
I'm as good as new
I paid my time and now
I'm as good as new
They can't take me
back unless I want 'em to
If it keep on rainin'
the levee gonna break
If it keep on rainin'
the levee gonna break
Some of these people gonna
strip you of all they
can take

I can't stop here I ain't
ready to unload
I can't stop here I ain't
ready to unload
Riches and salvation can be
waiting behind the
next bend in the road
I picked you up from the gutter
and this is the thanks I get
I picked you up from the gutter
and this is the thanks I get
You say you want me to quit ya
I told ya No not just yet
Well I look in your eyes
I see nobody other than me
I look in your eyes
I see nobody other than me
I see all that I am
and all I hope to be
If it keep on rainin'
the levee gonna break
If it keep on rainin'
the levee gonna break
Some of these people
don't know which road to take

When I'm with you
I forget I was ever blue
When I'm with you
I forget I was ever blue
Without you there's no
meaning in anything I do
Some people on the road carryin'
everything that they own
Some people on the road carryin'
everything they own
Some people got barely enough
skin to cover their bones
Put on your cat clothes mama
put on your evening dress
Put on your cat clothes mama
put on your evening dress
Few more years of hard work
then there'll be a 1000 years
of happiness
If it keep on rainin'
the levee gonna break
If it keep on rainin'
the levee gonna break
I tried to get you to love me
but I won't repeat that
mistake

If it keep on rainin'
the levee gonna break
If it keep on rainin'
the levee gonna break
Plenty of cheap stuff out
there and still around that
you take
I woke up this morning
butter and eggs in my bed
I woke up this morning
butter and eggs in my bed
I ain't got enough room to
even raise my head
Come back baby
say we never more will part
Come back baby
say we never more will part
Don't be a stranger with no
brain or heart
If it keep on rainin'
the levee gonna break
If it keep on rainin'
the levee gonna break
Some people still sleepin'
some people are wide awake
If it keep on rainin'
the levee gonna break
If it keep on rainin'
the levee gonna break
Everybody saying this is a
day only the Lord could make
Well I worked on the levee
Mama both night and day
I worked on the levee
Mama both night and day
