Down In The Flood (Album Version) Lyrics

Crash on the levee, mama
Water's gonna overflow
Swamps gonna rise
And no boats gonna rowNow you can train on down
To William's Point
You can bust your feet
You can rock this jointBut mama, ain't you gonna
Miss your best friend now?
Gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehowNow don't you try and move me
You're just gonna lose
There's a crash on the levee
And mama, you've been refusedWell, it's sugar for sugar
Salt for salt
If you go down in the flood
It's gonna be your own faultOh mama, ain't you gonna
Miss your best friend now?
Gonna have to find yourself

Another best friend, somehowWell, that high tide's risin'
Mama, don't you let me down
Pack up your suitcase
Mama, don't you make a soundNow it's king for king
And queen for queen
Gonna be the meanest flood
That anybody's ever seenOh mama, ain't you gonna
Miss your best friend now?
You're just gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow
