Down In The Flood Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

Crash on the levee, mama, water's gonna overflow 

Swamp's gonna rise, ain't no boat's a gonna row 

Now, you can train on down to Williams Point 

You can bust your feet and 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 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 and it's salt for salt 

If you go down in the flood, it's gonna be your fault 

But, oh, mama 

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, it's Queen for Queen 

It's a gonna be the meanest flood that anybody's seen 

But, oh, mama 

You're gonna have to find yourself another best friend somehow
