Wait by the Water Songtext
von Burton Cummings

Said I got a gal named Lillian
She caught me out with Jenny Lee
She wrote me a note, I′ll tell you here's what she wrote
She said "I′m goin' to the deep, blue sea."

And I cried "Wait by the water, Lillian!"
I said "Wait by the water, Lillian!"
I cried "Wait by the water, Lillian!"
'Cause I′m goin′ with you in the water
I'm goin′ with you in the water

Said I ran down to the seashore
I arrived just about three
There was my Lilly, so cold and chilly
Walkin' in the deep, blue sea


And I cried "Wait by the water, Lillian!"
I said "Wait by the water, Lillian!"
I cried "Wait by the water, Lillian!"
′Cause I'm goin′ with you in the water
I'm goin' with you in the water

You I know I told my Lil that I loved her
And Jenny Lee was just my friend
She never turned round, she walked right in and drowned
And that′s how the story ends

And I cried "Wait by the water, Lillian!"
I said "Wait by the water, Lillian!"
I cried "Wait by the water, Lillian!"
′Cause I'm goin′ with you in the water
I'm goin′ with you in the water
