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 sitting 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
