Don't Go Near The Water

[Verse 1] Your mama used to worry about that big muddy river Honey do you remember You let the screen door slam when you stepped off the front porch Then your mama calling don't be late And I'd hear your daddy holler, Son she's my only daughter You'd stick your nose in the honeysuckle down by the gate I could still hear your mama calling, don't go near the water [Chorus] We fell right in Went over our head But we didn't go near the water Nothing beats the young and sweet And the nights got hotter and hotter We were sure enough getting our feet wet mama But we didn't go near the water [Verse 2] We'd hear the rocking chair squeaking As you sneaked up the back stairs Mama waiting like a grizzly bear Had to get the honeysuckle out of your hair But in the morning light You'd look her right in the eye It wasn't a lie We didn't go near the water [Chorus] [Bridge] Your mama used to worry about that big muddy river She should have worried about me [Outro] Because we were sure enough getting our feet wet, mama But we didn't go near the water Didn't go near the water Didn't go near the water yeah
