Down In The Flood — текст песни (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 falt
But oh mama...
[ dobro ]
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
