Crash on the leveemama

Water's gonna overflow

Swamp's gonna rise

No boat's gonna row.

Nowyou can train on down

To williams point

You can bust your feet

You can rock this joint.

But oh mamaain't you gonna miss your best friend now? 

You're gonna have to find yourself

Another best friendsomehow.



Nowdon't you try an' move me

You're just gonna lose.

There's a crash on the levee

Andmamayou've been refused.

Wellit's sugar for sugar

And salt for salt

If you go down in the flood

It's gonna be your own fault.

Oh mamaain't you gonna miss your best friend now? 

You're gonna have to find yourself

Another best friendsomehow.



Wellthat high tide's risin'

Mamadon't you let me down.

Pack up your suitcase

Mamadon't you make a sound.

Nowit's king for king

Queen for queen

It's gonna be the meanest flood

That anybody's seen.

Oh mamaain't you gonna miss your best friend now? 

Yesyou're gonna have to find yourself

Another best friendsomehow.
