same old boat

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.
