[Chorus]
Oh when I hit troubled waters
I forget to swim
This leg goes before that arm
Before you know I'm drownin'
And it's lonesome in the ocean
Without a friend

[Verse 2]
Honey won't you sail with me
I swear I won't be mean
'Long as you fulfill all of
My deepest longing needs
And it's lonesome in the ocean
Without a friend

[Verse 3]
And I'll come home
When my hair is grown and bleached by the sea
Honey, you won't know me

[Chorus]
Oh when I hit troubled waters
I forget to swim
Oh this leg goes beforе that arm
Before you know
I'm drownin'
