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 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
