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 Williams Point, You can bust your feet, 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 an´ 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 salt for salt, If you go down in the flood, It´s gonna be your own fault. Oh mama, ain´t you gonna miss your best friend now?
You´re gonna have to find yourself Another best friend, somehow.
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, 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´re gonna have to find yourself Another best friend, somehow.
