As we approach the first 'anniversary' of the nature made devastation of Hurricane Katrina and the human made devastation of what should have been done before and after that hurricane's landing in New Orleans and other parts of the US Gulf states, I got to thinking about the first I learned that mention levees. I remember learning this song in Mr. Sibrola junior high school music class many moons ago. Here are the words I remember of that song:

River looks dark with the shadows on it.
Mighty black clouds in the sky above.
Still I aint fraid of the rain, doggone it
River and rain are the things I love.

Rain, fall down on me.
I'm as happy as I can be.

I'm gone down on the levee.
Gonna build myself a rockin chair.
If my lovin man don't come,
I'll rock away from there.

That's all I remember. Does anyone know the title of that song and other lyrics to it? And if I got the words wrong, please 'right' them for me, and add more lyrics if there are any.

Thanks.
