Lyric 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 down
To 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 yourself
Another best friend, somehow.

Now, don t you try an move me,
You re just gonna lose.
There s a crash on the levee
And, mama, you ve been refused.
Well, it s sugar for sugar
And 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 yourself
Another 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 flood
That anybody s seen.
Oh mama, ain t you gonna miss your best friend now?
Yes, you re gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.
