Jonny Lang - The Levee
from the album "Wander This World"
I have been to Memphis but I could 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
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
I'm drivin' through the darkness
Down Highway sixty-one
Heading for the crossroads
Like the ones before me done
