Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, |

Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home, |

|
When you're tryin' to find your way home, |
|
You don't know which way to go |

|
And you're going on to |
|
Chicago. Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, |

|
You don't know which way to go |

|
South Then there's no work to do, |

And you're going on to |
