Don't Go Near The Water

Your mama used to worry about that big muddy river Honey do your 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 honeys*ckle down by the gate I can still hear your mama calling, "Don't go near the water" We fell right in, went over our head But we didn't go near the water And nothing beats so 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 We'd hear the rocking chair squeaking As you sneaked up the back stairs Mama waiting like a grizzly bear And had to get the honeys*ckle 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 We fell right in, went over our head But we didn't go near the water Well nothing beats so 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 Your mama used to worry about that big muddy river She should've worried about me 'Cause 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
