Down In The Flood Lyrics - Denny Sandy

(Bob Dylan) 

Crash on the levee, mama 

Water's gonna overflow 

Swamp's gonna rise 

No boat's gonna row 

You can train on down 

To Williams Point 

And you bust your feet 

And rock this joint 

But oh, mama 

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 

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 

Now, don't you try an' move me 

You're just gonna lose 

There's been a crash on the levee 

Mama, you've just been refused 

Well, it's king for king 

And queen for queen 

It's gonna be the meanest flood 

That anybody's seen 

Oh, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now? 

Yes, you're gonna have to find yourself 

Another best friend, somehow 

Yes, you're gonna have to find yourself 

Another best friend, somehow
