Down In The Flood

Crash on the levee, mama,Water's gonna overflow,Swamp's gonna rise,No boat's gonna row.Now, you can train on downTo Williams Point,You can bust your feet,You can rock this joint.But oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?You're gonna have to find yourselfAnother best friend, somehow.Now, don't you try an' move me,You're just gonna lose.There's a crash on the leveeAnd, mama, you've been refused.Well, it's sugar for sugarAnd salt for salt,If you go down in the flood,It's gonna be your own fault.Oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?You're gonna have to find yourselfAnother best friend, somehow.Well, that high tide's risin',Mama, don't you let me down.Pack up your suitcase,Mama, don't you make a sound.Now, it's king for king,Queen for queen,It's gonna be the meanest floodThat anybody's seen.Oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?Yes, you're gonna have to find yourselfAnother best friend, somehow.
