Down in the Flood

Crash on the levée, mama
Water's gonna overflow
Storm's gonna rise
And no boat's gonna row
Well you can train on down
To Williams Point
You can bust your feet
You can rock this joint
But oh mama, you're gonna miss your best friend now
You're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend somehow

Well a high tide's rising
Mama don't you let me down
Pack up your suitcase
And mama don't you make a sound
Well it's king for king
And queen for queen
There's gonna be the meanest flood
That anybody's seen
Oh mama you're gonna miss your best friend now
You're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend somehow
Oh yeah

Oh now don't you try to move me
You know you're just gonna lose
There's been a crash on the levée
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 fault
Oh mama you're gonna miss your best friend now
And you're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend somehow
Oh you're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend somehow
