Crash on the levee mama
Water's gonna overflow
Swamp's gonna rise
No boat's gonna row
Now 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
You're just gonna lose
There's a crash on the levee
And mama you've been refused
Well it's sugar for sugar
And 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
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
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
