Down In The Flood lyrics

There's a crash on the levee, mama, water’s gonna overflow
This swamp gonna rise, no boat's gonna row
Well you can train on down to Williams Point
You can bust your feet, you can rock this joint
Oh mama, gonna miss your best friend now
You're gonna have to find yourself another best friend somehow

Well don’t you try and move me, you're just gonna lose
There's been 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 fault
Oh mama, gonna miss your best friend now
You're gonna have to find yourself another best friend somehow

Well the high tide's a-rising, mama, don’t you let me down
Yeah pack up your suitcase, mama, don’t you make a sound
Well it's king for king, queen for queen
This is gonna be the meanest flood that anybody’s seen
Oh mama, gonna miss your best friend now
Just gonna have to find yourself another best friend somehow
You're just gonna have to find yourself another best friend somehow
