The Levee's Gonna Break Lyrics - Modern Times - Bob Dylan

If it keep on rainin' 

The levee gonna break 

If it keep on rainin' 

The levee gonna break 

Everybody sayin' 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 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 

Photos 

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 an' 

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 meanin' 

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 1, 000 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 

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'll never more 'part 

Come back, baby 

Say, we'll never more '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
