Record Tracklist

  1. Down by the Water
    Down by the Water

    I lost my heart
    under the bridge
    to that little girl who
    meant so much to me,
    and now I moan,
    and now I holler –
    she’ll never know
    just what I found.

    That blue-eyed girl,
    she said No more,
    and that blue-eyed girl
    became blue-eyed whore.
    Down by the water
    I took her hand.
    My lovely daughter –
    won’t see her again.

    Oh help me Jesus,
    get through the storm.
    I had to lose her –
    to do her harm.
    I heard her holler.
    I heard her moan.
    My lovely daughter –
    I took her home.

    Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water –
    come back here man, gimme my daughter.
