Crash on the levee, mama
Water's gonna overflow
Swamps gonna rise

And no boats gonna row

You can train on down

To Williams Point
You can bust your feet
You can rock this joint


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


Now, don't you try and move me
Mama you're just gonna lose

There's been a crash on the levee
And mama, you've been refused


Well, it's king for king
Queen for queen
It's gonna be the meanest flood

That anybody's ever seen

Oh mama, you gonna miss your best friend now?

You're gonna have to find yourself another best friend, somehow

Well, that high tides risin'

Mama, don't you let me down
Pack up your suitcase
Mama, don't you make a sound


Well, it's sugar for sugar
And it's 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
