Well I went to the river and I turned around
Because I didn't want to
Drown, drown, drown

Whoa, oh, no, no
Because, the water was cold
And it didn't satisfy my soul

Said, I went to the river or twice
But no, no, no
I'm not gonna take my advice

Whoa, oh, no, no
Because, the water was cold
And it didn't satisfy my soul

Whoa, oh, no, no
No no

Well I went to the river just once before
But no, no, no
I'm not gonna go there no more

Whoa, oh, no, no
Because, the water was cold
And it didn't satisfy my soul

You can tell my mama and my wife
I changed my mind
I'm not gonna change my life

Whoa, oh, no, no
Because, the water was cold
And it didn't satisfy my soul

Whoa, oh, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
I'm not going there no more
The water was much too cold.....
