Lyrics
well, she's got me over deep waters, she's got me out on a limb, she's sawed it out from under me, and i ain't even learned to swim, i keep a-scrathing at the muddy bank, but all i do is slide, i keep a-begging of her to love me, but just to be denied, well, somerbodies gonna get wet, somebodies gonna drown, it looks to me like if this will be, my third time down, well she wanted me to take her boatin', she just wants to paddle around, and her i am twenty miles from shore, and she throwed my paddler down, she pulled my cork from the boat, and here i'm a-sinking fast, if someone won't come rescue me, i don't know how long i'll last, cause, somerbodies gonna get wet, somebodies gonna drown, it looks to me like this will be, my third time down, well, she wanted me to take her a-wadin', she just wants to wet her feet, but here i am up to my neck, in the middle of the famous old creek, i keep a-scrathing at the muddy bank, but all i do is slide, i keep a-begging for her to love me, but just to be denied, so, somerbodies gonna get wet, somebodies gonna drown, it looks to me like if this will be, my third time down.
