Crash On The Levee (Down In The Flood) lyrics

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 ?
You re gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.
