Masked & Anonymous movie - Down In The Flood lyrics

rate me

Song by Bob Dylan<br /><br>

Crash on the levee, mama,<br>

Water's gonna overflow,<br>

Swamp's gonna rise,<br>

No boat's gonna row.<br>

Now, you can train on down<br>

To Williams Point,<br>

You can bust your feet,<br>

You can rock this joint.<br>

But oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?<br>

You're gonna have to find yourself<br>

Another best friend, somehow.<br>

<br>

Now, don't you try an' move me,<br>

You're just gonna lose.<br>

There's a crash on the levee<br>

And, mama, you've been refused.<br>

Well, it's sugar for sugar<br>

And salt for salt,<br>

If you go down in the flood,<br>

It's gonna be your own fault.<br>

Oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?<br>

You're gonna have to find yourself<br>

Another best friend, somehow.<br>

<br>

Well, that high tide's risin',<br>

Mama, don't you let me down.<br>

Pack up your suitcase,<br>

Mama, don't you make a sound.<br>

Now, it's king for king,<br>

Queen for queen,<br>

It's gonna be the meanest flood<br>

That anybody's seen.<br>

Oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?<br>

Yes, you're gonna have to find yourself<br>

Another best friend, somehow.<br>

<br>
