Crash on the Levee (take 2)

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 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
