Crash on the levee, mama
Water's gonna overflow
Swamps gonna rise
No boats gonna row

Now you can train on down
To Williams Point
You can bust your feet
You can rock this joint

But mama, ain't you gonna
Miss your best friend now?
You're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend somehow

Now don't try and move me
You're just gonna lose
There's a crash on the levee
Mama, you've been refused

So it's, it's sugar for sugar
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 tides 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
And queen for queen
Gonna be the meanest flood
That everybody's seen

Oh, mama, ain't you gonna
Miss your best friend now?
You have to find yourself
Another best friend somehow
