Me and my girl were thinking on what to do, She said "lets go swimming." So we walked down the shore, And watched the waves come in. I didn't know then, now what I'm telling you.
Don't go in the water, because I am so afraid.
She took all her clothes off, and she went swimming In the water up to her pretty neck. I stood on the shore, And watched her swim around. The next thing I knew she was going down.
I wish she'd listened to me. Don't go in the water, because I am so afraid.
I didn't know what to do, My girlfriend she was drowning. A coughing and a sputtering, Right in front of my face. On well, I cannot swim to save my own life, But I don't want to see my girlfriend die.
I wish she'd listened to me. Don't go in the water, because I am so afraid.
