Down in the Flood

[Verse 1]

Crash on the levee, mama, water's gonna overflow

Swamp's gonna rise and no boat's gonna row

Now, you can train on down to Williams Point

You can bust your feet, you can rock this joint

[Chorus]

But oh, mama

You're gonna miss your best friend now

You're gonna have to find yourself

Another best friend somehow

[Verse 2]

High tide's risin' now, 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 salt for salt

If you go down in the flood, it's gonna be your own fault

[Chorus]

But oh, mama

You're gonna miss your best friend now

You're gonna have to find yourself

Another best friend somehow

[Verse 3]

Don't you try and move me, mama, you're just gonna lose

There's been a crash on the levee, mama, and you've just been refused

Well, it's king for king and queen for queen

It's gonna be the meanest flood that anybody's seen

[Chorus]

Oh, mama

You're gonna miss your best friend now

You're gonna have to find yourself

Another best friend somehow

[Outro]

Oh, you're gonna have to find yourself

Another best friend somehow
