DEEP DARK WATER

In the style of
JIM REEVES
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 l 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 t0 the gills and falling for
The weaknesses of 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 sawin' 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
