Crash On The Levee (down In The Flood) Lyrics - The Basement Tapes - Bob Dylan

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? 

You're gonna have to find yourself 

Another best friend, somehow.
