Down In the Flood

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

Storm's 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

But oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?

You're gonna have to find yourself

Another best friend, somehow

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 sugar for sugar and salt for salt

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

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 king for king and 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

You're gonna have to find yourself

Another best friend, somehow
