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.
