Crash on the Levee (Down in the Flood)
Bob Dylan

Crash on the levee, mama,nWater's gonna overflow,nSwamp's gonna rise,nNo boat's gonna row.nNow, you can train on downnTo Williams Point,nYou can bust your feet,nYou can rock this joint.nBut oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?nYou're gonna have to find yourselfnAnother best friend, somehow.nnNow, don't you try an' move me,nYou're just gonna lose.nThere's a crash on the leveenAnd, mama, you've been refused.nWell, it's sugar for sugarnAnd salt for salt,nIf you go down in the flood,nIt's gonna be your own fault.nOh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?nYou're gonna have to find yourselfnAnother best friend, somehow.nnWell, that high tide's risin',nMama, don't you let me down.nPack up your suitcase,nMama, don't you make a sound.nNow, it's king for king,nQueen for queen,nIt's gonna be the meanest floodnThat anybody's seen.nOh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?nYes, you're gonna have to find yourselfnAnother best friend, somehow.
