Crash on the Levee (Take 1) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Crash on the levee, mama
Water's going to overflow
Swamp's going to rise
No boat's going to row
Now, you can train on down
To Williams Point
You can bust your feet
You can rock this joint

[Chorus]
But oh mama, ain't you going to miss your best friend now?
You're going to have to find yourself
Another good friend, somehow

[Verse 2]
Now, don't you try an' move me
Mama just going to lose
There's a crash on the levee
Mama, you've been refused
Well, it's sugar for sugar
Salt for salt
If you go down in the flood
It's your own true fault

[Chorus]
Oh mama, ain't you going to miss your best friend now?
You're going to have to find yourself
Another good friend, somehow

[Verse 3]
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 going to be the meanest flood
That anybody's seen

[Chorus]
Oh mama, ain't you going to miss your best friend now?
Yes, you're going to have to find yourself
Another good friend, somehow
