Crash on the levee, mama, water's gonna overflow Storm's gonna rise, no boat's gonna row Well, 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 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 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 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 king for king and 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? You're gonna have to find yourself Another best friend, somehow You're gonna have to find yourself Another best friend, somehow
