DOWN IN THE FLOOD
|
|
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.
