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.
