Five Best...Songs about Levee's

#5. "American Pie" by Don McLean

I started singin'
Bye-bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
And singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die


#4. "Friend of the Devil" by The Grateful Dead

I ran down to the levee
But the Devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill
And he vanished in the air


#3. "When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin

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


#2. "The Levee's Gonna Break" by Bob Dylan

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


#1. "When the Levee Breaks" by Memphis Minnie

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
And the water gonna come in, have no place to stay
