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
