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.
