When the levee breaks I'll have no place to stay....
This isn't a levee protected area, it is Delcambre La and it is this far from the gulf. The law states you will not get flood insurance unless you "raise the roof" so to speak. A 20 rise in sea level and I think the way of life around here will change forever.




If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay.

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.

Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down South
They go no work to do,
If you don't know about Chicago.

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.

2. Not mine, and I don't like the idea of accidentally falling out of
my home... don't like heights... don't like wet yards, don't like hurricanes, don't like big carbon footprints. Here is one with the full monty.
