Rhyme for "Chevy" in Don McLean's "American Pie" (5)

I believe the answer is:

levee

(Other definitions for levee that I've seen before include "Gathering" , "Quay" , "An embankment built to prevent a river from overflowing" , "River bank reinforcement, particularly in the US" , "Embankment holding water back" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
