The Levee Lyrics
Well, I have been down to Memphis
I couldn't find no peace
Well my soul is feeling restless
Like I need some reliefHeading for the desert
See what I can find
I know the river holds the answers
To the questions in my mindTake me down
To the levee where the women sing
Lay me down
Like an angel with a broken wingTake me down
To the levee where the river flows
Gon' throw my blues off the levee
And let them goI have been down at Natchez
Down to Baton Rouge
You see the river keep on callin' me
No matter what I do
No matter what I doTake me down
To the levee where the women sing
Lay me down
Like an angel with a broken wingTake me down
To the levee where the river flows
Gon' throw my blues off the levee
And let them goI'm drivin' through the darkness
Highway 61
Heading for the crossroads
Like the ones before me doneI want you to take me down
To the levee where the women sing
Lay me down
Like an angel with a broken wingTake me down
To the levee where the river flows
Gon' throw my blues off the levee
And let them go
Let them go
