Down In The Flood Lyrics by Bob Dylan

Down In The Flood

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?
Yes, youre gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.
