Down in the Flood

Crash on the levee, mama, water's gonna overflow
Swamp's gonna rise, no boat's gonna row
Well, you can train on down to Williams Point
You can bust your feet and you can rock this joint

But oh, Mama Rain, you're gonna miss your best friend now
You're gonna have to find yourself another best friend, somehow

Don't you try to move me, you're just gonna lose
There's been 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 fault

But oh, Mama Rain, you're gonna miss your best friend now
You're gonna have to find yourself another best friend, somehow

Well, the high tide's rising, Mama, don't you let me down
Pack up your suitcase, Mama, don't you make a sound
Well, it's king for king and queen for queen
It's gonna be the meanest flood that anybody's seen

But oh, Mama Rain, you're gonna miss your best friend now
You're gonna have to find yourself another best friend, somehow

I said, oh, Mama Rain, you're gonna miss your best friend now
You're gonna have to find yourself another best friend, somehow
