Lyrics

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