Crash on the levee mama,
C/g-G C/g-G
water's gonna overflow,
swamp's gonna rise,
G C/g-G
no boat's gonna row
C/g-G
Now you can train on down
to William's point,
C/g-G
you can bust your feet,
C/g-G
you can rock this joint
But oh mama, ain't you gonna
D G C/g-G
miss your best friend now
You gonna have to find yourself
G C/g-G
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
