Flatt And Scruggs Down In The Flood Lyrics

Down In The Flood Lyrics

Crash on the levee mama water's gonna overflow



Swamp's gonna rise ain't no boat's a gonna row



Now you can train on down to Williams Point



You can bust your feet and 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 and 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 it's salt for salt



If you go down in the flood it's gonna be your falt



But oh mama...



[ dobro ]



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 it's queen for queen



It's a gonna be the meanest flood that anybody's seen



But oh mama...



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