Crash on the levee, mama   Water's gonna overflow   Swamps gonna rise   And no boats gonna row      Now you can train on down   To William's Point   You can bust your feet   You can rock this joint      But mama, ain't you gonna   Miss your best friend now?   Gonna have to find yourself   Another best friend, somehow      Now don't you try and 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   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?   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   And queen for queen   Gonna be the meanest flood   That anybody's ever seen      Oh mama, ain't you gonna   Miss your best friend now?   You're just gonna have to find yourself   Another best friend, somehow
