《Broken Levee Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Broken Levee Blues - Lonnie Johnson/Willie Johnson

[00:00:12] I wants to go back to Helena

[00:00:16] The high waters got me bogged

[00:00:24] I wants to go back to Helena

[00:00:28] The high waters got me bogged

[00:00:36] I woke up early this mornin'

[00:00:40] A water hole in my back yard

[00:00:49] They want me to work on the levee

[00:00:54] I have to leave my home

[00:01:02] They want to work on the levee

[00:01:06] That I have to leave my home

[00:01:14] I was so scared the levee might break out

[00:01:21] And I may drown

[00:01:27] The water was round my windows

[00:01:32] And backin' all up in my door

[00:01:40] The water was all up round my windows

[00:01:44] And backin' all up in my door

[00:01:53] I'd rather to leave my home 'cause

[00:01:58] I can't live there no more

[00:02:06] The police run me all from Cairo

[00:02:10] All through Arkansas

[00:02:19] The police run me all from Cairo all through Arkansas

[00:02:32] And put me in jail behind those cold iron bars

[00:02:45] The police say work fight

[00:02:47] Or go to jail

[00:02:49] I say I ain't totin' no sack

[00:02:58] Police say work fight or go to jail

[00:03:02] I say I ain't totin' no sack

[00:03:11] And I ain't buildin' no levee

[00:03:14] The planks is on the ground

[00:03:16] And I ain't drivin' no nails
