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
