Don't Go Near The Water Lyrics


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

And the nights got hotter and hotter
We were sure enough getting our feet wet mama
But we didn't go near the waterYour mama used to worry about that big muddy river
She should've worried about me'Cause we were sure enough getting our feet wet mama
But we didn't go near the water
Didn't go near the water
Didn't go near the water, yeah

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Samuel Paul "Sammy" Kershaw (born February 24, 1958, in Kaplan, Louisiana) is an American Country and Western music singer and songwriter.

He is a relative of Cajun music legend, Doug Kershaw.

After the death of his father when Sammy was 11, he worked a variety of jobs by day while playing roadhouses at night to support his family.

During that time, he opened shows for Ray Price, Merle Haggard and George Jones while barely into his teens. When the pressures of growing up fast took their toll in the form of a serious drug and alcohol problem, he quit his bad habits cold turkey in 1988 and took a break from music to work as a remodeling supervisor at Wal-Mart.

One of Kershaw's demo tapes made its way to Mercury Records, which released his debut album in 1991. His traditional country voice found a receptive audience in the early 1990s, with hits like "Cadillac Style," "She Don't Know She's Beautiful" and a remake of the Amazing Rhythm Aces' "Third Rate Romance."

Shortly thereafter, Kershaw and Lorrie Morgan divorced their spouses and married in 2001. They separated two years later, but quickly reconciled. Prior to their marriages, Kershaw and Morgan recorded two duets - "Maybe Not Tonight" and "He Drinks Tequila", both of which made the Top 40.

He has released over 14 albums in his career including "I Want My Money Back" on Audium Records in 2003.

Kershaw filed for protection under Chapter 13 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on February 7, 2007.
