Crash on the Levee [Down in the Flood] — текст песни (The Band)

G C/g-G C/g G

G
Crash on the levee mama,
C/g-G C/g-G
water`s gonna overflow,
C
swamp`s gonna rise,
G C/g-G
no boat`s gonna row.
C/g-G
Now you can train on down

to William`s point,
C/g-G
you can bust your feet,
C/g-G
you can rock this joint.
C
But oh mama, ain`t you gonna
D G C/g-G
miss your best friend now.
D
You gonna have to find yourself
G C/g-G
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 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.
Oh mama, ain`t you gonna miss
your best friend now.
Yes you gonna have to find yourself
another best friend somehow.

Well that high tide`s rising,
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 gonna have to find yourself
another best friend somehow.
