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 William's point

You can bust your feet

You can rock this joint

But oh mama, ain't you gonna

Miss your best friend now

You 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 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

Oh mama, ain't you gonna miss

Your best friend now

Yes you gonna have to find yourself

Another best friend somehow

Well that high tide's rising

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 gonna have to find yourself

Another best friend somehow
