Wade in the water up to my knees Mama say it ain't no use, boy gonna do as he please Sent me off with Jesus, cried herself to sleep And watched her baby wade out in the deep Wade in the water up to my knees Thought I'd get me a piece of what I got coming to me Floated west to Cali but I lost my way And you can still see me floating 'round today And all the mama's keep on crying all night While the river keeps on rising Wade in the water up to my chest Living in the spotlight didn't bring out my best Had me a wife or two, a bunch babies I never knew So far that's been the story, sad but true And all the mama's keep on crying all night While the river keeps on rising Cars like boats and homes afloat Swimming down Broadway Times like this I wish I were a fish And could simply swim away Wade in the water up to my neck Sharks below me and the sea had turned red The mermaid's hand pulled me to the shore And left me pining on the beach for ever more And all the mama's keep on crying all night While the river keeps on rising
