The Pomegranate County Irregulars - Levee Seven Lyrics

The heavens rained down
Some said Judgement Day
Were that true, I figure
Some how more water would be coming our way

Levee six started to fail
Levee three gone, and it washed out Campton
One earthen wall is all that's left
We pack and pray. Please save Levee Seven

In the heat of summer
There's the skeeters and flies
When you live on the river
You know one day the water gonna rise

Levee six started to fail
Levee three gone, it washed out Campton
One earthen wall is all that's left
We pack and pray. Please save Levee Seven

So Mama grabbed the Bible
Photos saved by my wife
Load up a truck? Load up a boat
Oh, Lord, how best to leave this life

Levee six is now no more
That put paid to all might have beens
Levee Seven goes. Levee Seven gone
Oh damn the rain that damned... Levee Seven

The rain will stop and people will come
So-called leaders and the famous-fors
They come to pity, they come to be gone
Water hazards wreck golf scores

Levee six gonna be rebuilt
Loans for all the folks of Campton
All we had is now washed away
And seek you me in the mud that was... Levee Seven
