Crash On the Levee (Down In the Flood) 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 William's Point
You can bust your feet
You can rock this joint

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?
Yes, 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
