will the levee hold
will the levee hold?
will it hold 'til morning
will it last all night
will it last all night?
i can see, these walls are groaning
the sandbags are low
the engineer says so
the senator sends 100 black men
to lay down close
lay your body down
before the mighty mississippi
the church bells rang
the church bells rang
from memphis
to catfish row
the preacher sang
the preacher sang
an old song
in the cypress grove
"like a tree down in the water
i shall not be moved
like a tree down in the water
i shall stand my ground"
like those brave men in the levee
who laid their bodies down
lay your body down
before the mighty mississippi

i stole a vase and some vials
my keys and a lock
anything that shined
i put a bay leaf to my brain
i let is simmer
oh elijah
i can't complain
i kept your locket
on some fishing wire
side lines and skylines
everything has changed
it falls into my line of sight
horses follow horses
running through the night
oh elijah
you're my delight
i saw a picture of a man
kissing his wife
in fields of chlorophyl
they were ghosts against the green
their shoulders touched
a crow took flight
oh elijah
you're my delight
