a rewrite of When the Levee Breaks that was inspired by a hideous snowstorm a few years ago If it keeps on snowing, Tree limb's going to break If it keeps on snowing, Tree limb's going to break The street is icy and cars don’t have time to brake All last night Sat on the A train alone All last night Sat on the A train alone The train don’t move And I’m trying to get home Plowing won’t help you Shoveling won’t do you no good I said, plowing won’t help you Shoveling won’t do you no good When it keeps on snowing, Mama, you got to move Don’t it make you feel bad when you’re trying to get home and you don’t know which way to go Cause the power line’s down and the wind’s blowing hard and you can’t see which way’s the road It’s coming down now, it’s coming down now, ooh ooh

Snowstorm Blues (apologies to Led Zeppelin and Memphis Minnie)
a rewrite of When the Levee Breaks that was inspired by a hideous snowstorm a few years ago If it keeps on snowing, Tree limb's going to break If it keeps on snowing, Tree limb's going to break The street is icy and cars don’t have time to brake All last night Sat on the A train alone All last night Sat on the A train alone The train don’t move And I’m trying to get home Plowing won’t help you Shoveling won’t do you no good I said, plowing won’t help you Shoveling won’t do you no good When it keeps on snowing, Mama, you got to move Don’t it make you feel bad when you’re trying to get home and you don’t know which way to go Cause the power line’s down and the wind’s blowing hard and you can’t see which way’s the road It’s coming down now, it’s coming down now, ooh ooh
