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
