Deep Dark Water (New Overdub)

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
