Down In The Flood

Crash on the levee, mama Water's gonna overflow Swamps gonna rise And no boats gonna row Now you can train on down To William's Point You can bust your feet You can rock this joint But mama, ain't you gonna Miss your best friend now? Gonna have to find yourself Another best friend, somehow Now don't you try and 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 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? 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 queen for queen Gonna be the meanest flood That anybody's ever seen Oh mama, ain't you gonna Miss your best friend now? You're just gonna have to find yourself Another best friend, somehow
