《Broken Levee Blues》歌词

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

[00:00:11] I wants to go back to Helena

[00:00:15] The high waters got me bogged

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

[00:00:27] The high waters got me bogged

[00:00:36] I woke up early this morning

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

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

[00:00:53] I have to leave my home

[00:01:01] 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

[00:01:18] Out and I may drown

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

[00:01:31] And backing all up in my door

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

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

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

[00:01:57] Cause I can't live there no more

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

[00:02:10] All through Arkansas

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

[00:02:23] All through Arkansas

[00:02:32] And put me in jail

[00:02:36] Behind those cold iron bars

[00:02:45] The police say work fight or go to jail

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

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

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

[00:03:10] And I ain't building no levee

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

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