Down in the Flood

Crash on the levee, mama
Water's gonna overflow
Swamp's gonna rise up
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 it's salt for salt
If you go down in the flood it's gonna be your own fault
Oh mama, aint 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
And it's queen for queen
It's gonna be the meanest flood
That anybody's ever seen
Oh mama ain't you gonna miss your best friend now
Yes, you're gonna have to find yourself another best friend somehow
