The Levee Lyrics
I have been to Memphis but I couldn't find no peace
My soul is feeling restless and I need some relief
I'm heading for the Delta, see what I can find
I know the river holds the answers that'll ease my worried mind
Take me down to the levee where the women sing
Lay me down like an angel with a broken wing
Take me down to the levee where the river flows
Gon' throw my blues off the levee and let them go
Well, I have been to Natchez, been down to Baton Rouge
But the Delta keeps on callin' me no matter what I do
Chorus
Solo
I'm drivin' through the darkness, down Highway 61
Heading for the crossroads like the ones before me done
My soul is feeling restless and I need some relief
I'm heading for the Delta, see what I can find
I know the river holds the answers that'll ease my worried mind
Lay me down like an angel with a broken wing
Take me down to the levee where the river flows
Gon' throw my blues off the levee and let them go
But the Delta keeps on callin' me no matter what I do
Heading for the crossroads like the ones before me done
