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 fault      But, oh, mama      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
