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 William's Point
You can bust your feet
You can rock this joint
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?
Yes, 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?
Yes, you're gonna have to find yourself another best friend, somehow
