'Cause we were sure enough getting our feet wet mama
And the nights got hotter and hotter
But we didn't go near the water
You'd look her right in the eye
We'd hear the rocking chair squeaking
And nothing beats so young and sweet
But we didn't go near the water
Songwriters: Jim Foster, Chapin Hartford
As you sneaked up the back stairs
And the nights got hotter and hotter
Didn't go near the water, yeah
Mama waiting like a grizzly bear
We fell right in, went over our head
Your mama used to worry about that big muddy river
But we didn't go near the water
She should've worried about me
We were sure enough getting our feet wet mama
It wasn't a lie, we didn't go near the water
We fell right in, went over our head
And I'd hear your daddy holler, "Son she's my only daughter"
You let the screen door slam when you stepped off the front porch
Didn't go near the water
Well nothing beats so young and sweet
But we didn't go near the water
You'd stick your nose in the honeysuckle down by the gate
And had to get the honeysuckle out of your hair
But in the morning light
But we didn't go near the water
We were sure enough getting our feet wet mama
Honey do your remember?
Then your mama calling don't be late
I can still hear your mama calling, "Don't go near the water"
