Down in the Flood

Crash on the levee, mama
 Water's gonna overflow
 Swamp's gonna rise
 And no boat's gonna row
 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
 Mama you're just gonna lose
 There's a crash on the levee
 And, mama, you've been refused
 Well, it's king for king
 And it's 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
 Well, that high tide's risin'
 Mama, don't you let me down
 Pack up your suitcase
 Mama, don't you make a sound
 ♪
 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, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now
 You're gonna have to find yourself
