Deep Dark Water.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. Feb 2001.

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 waters,
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 sitting on.

I looked down and I found,
I could drown in deep dark water,

so I cried when I realised,
I couldn't swim.

A fool and his money,
calls for whiskey and for gin,

filled to the gills,
and falling,
for the weaknesses of man.

From one fool to another,
wrong is never right,

I ignored advice from Mother,
brother looked at me tonight.

Unsteady as I go,
with deep dark water down below,

They keep sawing louder on my limb,
and so 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.
