Down In the Flood - Flatt & Scruggs

Crash on the levee mama

Waters gonna overflow

Swamps gonna rise

No boats 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

Theres 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 tides 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 anybodys seen

Oh mama ain't you gonna

Miss your best friend now

Yes you're gonna have to find yourself

Another best friend somehow

You're gonna have to find yourself

Another best friend somehow
