jim reeves - deep dark water lyrics
(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 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…
