Down in the Flood

[Verse 1]

Well, there's a crash on the levee, mama, water's gonna overflow

Yeah, you know the swamp's gonna rise, ain't no boat gonna row

Now you can crash on down to Williams Point

You can bust your feet, you can rock this joint

But oh mama, don't miss your best friend now

You gonna have to find yourself another best friend somehow

[Verse 2]

Yeah, well now, don't you try to move me, you just gonna lose

Oh, there's a crash on the levee, mama, you've been refused

Yeah, well, it's sugar for sugar, salt for salt

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

Mama, don't miss your best friend now

Yeah, you're gonna have to find yourself another best friеnd somehow

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Yeah, well thеre's a high tide risin', mama, don't let me down

Oh, pack up your suitcase, mama, don't you make a sound

Yes, you know it's king for king and queen for queen

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

Now, oh mama, don't miss your best friend now

Yes, you're gonna have to find yourself another best friend somehow

Yeah, you're gonna have to find yourself another best friend somehow
