Down In The Flood Lyrics - Already Free - The Derek Trucks Band

Crash on the levee, mama 

Water's gonna overflow 

Swamps gonna rise 

And no boats gonna row 

Now you can train on down 

To William's Point 

You can bust your feet 

You can rock this joint 

But mama, ain't you gonna 

Miss your best friend now? 

Gonna have to find yourself 

Another best friend, somehow 

Now don't you try and 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 

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? 

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 

And queen for queen 

Gonna be the meanest flood 

That anybody's ever seen 

Oh mama, ain't you gonna 

Miss your best friend now? 

You're just gonna have to find yourself 

Another best friend, somehow
