Crash on the Levee (Take 1)

[Verse 1]

Crash on the levee, mama

Water's going to overflow

Swamp's going to rise

No boat's going to row

Now, you can train on down

To Williams Point

You can bust your feet

You can rock this joint

[Chorus]

But oh mama, ain't you going to miss your best friend now?

You're going to have to find yourself

Another good friend, somehow

[Verse 2]

Now, don't you try an' move me

Mama just going to lose

There's a crash on the levee

Mama, you've been refused

Well, it's sugar for sugar

Salt for salt

If you go down in the flood

It's your own true fault

[Chorus]

Oh mama, ain't you going to miss your best friend now?

You're going to have to find yourself

Another good friend, somehow

[Verse 3]

Well, that high tide's rising

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 going to be the meanest flood

That anybody's seen

[Chorus]

Oh mama, ain't you going to miss your best friend now?

Yes, you're going to have to find yourself

Another good friend, somehow
