Deep Dark Water

歌詞

Alone and so lonesome Bored and so blue I got the urge to ramble So I took a drink or two. It tempted me to trifle Then my true heart went astray So I wandered in dark water And just threw my life away. I know that it was wrong To fool around this way so long Someone was sawing on the limb That I was sittin' on. I looked down and I found I could drown in deep, dark water So I cried when I realized I couldn't swim. A fool and his money Calls for whiskey and for gin Filled to the gills and falling for The weaknesses as a man. From one fool to another Wrong is never right I ignored advice from mother And brother look at me tonight. Unsteady as I go With deep dark water down below They keep sawing louder on my limb And soon I'll have to go. Life's been small, hear my call As I fall in deep, dark water Don't be a would-be king And tumble from your throne...
