Down In The Flood Lyrics

Down In The Flood lyrics

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?

Yes, you're gonna have to find yourself

Another best friend, somehow.
