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 falt But oh mama... [ dobro ] 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
