Reeves, Jim - Deep Dark Water Lyrics
Alone and so lonesome
Bored and so blue
I got the urge to ramble
So I took a drink or two.
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 around this way so long
Someone was sawing on the limb
That I was sittin' on.
I looked down and I found
So I cried when I realized
I couldn't swim.
A fool and his money
Calls for whiskey and for gin
Filled to the gills and falling for
The weaknesses as a man.
From one fool to another
I ignored advice from mother
And brother look at me tonight.
Unsteady as I go
With deep dark water down below
They keep sawing louder on my limb
And soon I'll have to go.
Life's been small, hear my call
As I fall in deep, dark water
Don't be a would-be king
And tumble from your throne...

Reeves, Jim Deep Dark Water Comments
Brilliant singer great song 66
I love all his songs, but Welcome to My World is one of my favorites.
Unreleased until 1967. Overdubbed demo.
Awesome
We will never hear such a voice again. Ever!!!.
As good as anything he ever recorded, but not
very popular, I
suppose because
it was never released as a 45rpm single.
You're probably right about no single. Sorry I am way behind on the leads you've given me! I went out and had a blast with girlfriends, Thursday night. Friday had appointments and then went shopping for 4 year old's birthday party, Saturday up early, helped prepare food for party, party at 1PM-4PM; lasted until 5PM. Then went home, took a quick shower and out again with girlfriends for St, Patrick's Day party. Sunday listened to some music, have no idea today what it was. I tend to get sidetracked from my leads when I see something in the sidebar I have not heard in a while or I see a favorite singer, or it is something new! Jim Reeves has always been one of my favorite singers, so thank you!
My favorite legende........
Great Singer and song. ..
brilliant
there never will be another Jim but Hans Sommer tribute to Jim reeves on tube is keeping that voice alive,he's fantastic
One of my favourite singers of all time
he was the best.
Mr. Velvet.
I think that every song Jim sang is still superb
My mother was a true Jim Reeves fan and every time I hear Jim sing I think of her.
My dad was a big Jim Reeves fan, and passed that on to me, and this is probably my favourite song by Gentleman Jim. I remember it from "Am I That Easy to Forget".
Jim is not only a great singer, a very good song writer as well.
God bless!
This is a wonderful song for those unresisting souls.
God bless!
A wonderfully dark tune for Gentleman Jim.
The overdubbed version produced by Larry Jordan on the "Jim Reeves New Recordings" is fabulously super.
Shevanthi Perera love my jim
Shevanthi Perera fuck Larry Jordan, hes a prick!

You don't come off like a saint yourself, coming on social media with offensive
language like this, you infernal, foul-mouthed hothead! You come on like this with the wrong person and it's going to be like opening up a can of freaking VIPERS!
