lonesome bored and so blue
It tempted me to trifle then
my true heart went astray
So I wandered in dark water
and just threw my life away
I know that it was wrong to fool
Someone was sawing on the
limb that I was sittin' on
I looked down and I found I could
So I cried when I realized
A fool and his money calls
Filled to the gills and falling for
I ignored advice from mother and
brother look at me tonight
Unsteady as I go with deep
They keep sawing louder on my limb
Life's been small hear my call as
I fall in deep dark water
Don't be a would-be king king
and tumble from your throne
