Key of G
Your (G) mamma used to worry 'bout that big muddy river
(F) Honey, (C) do you (D) remember
You let the (G) screen door slam when you stepped off the front porch
You heard your mamma callin' don't be late
(F) I'd hear your daddy holler, (C) "Son, she's my honey (G) daughter"
You'd stick your (F) nose in the honeysuckle down by the gate
I can (C) still hear your mama calling, "don't go near the (G) water"
We (G) fell right (F) in way (C) over our (F) heads
But, we (G) didn't go (F) near the (C) water (F)
In (G) love - in (F) deep - so (C) young and (F) sweet
And the (D) nights got hotter and (D7) hotter
We were (G) sure 'nuff (F) gettin' our (C) feet wet, (F) mama
But, we (G) didn't go (F) near the (C) water
You hear the (G) rockin' chair squeakin' when you stepped off the back steps
Mama waitin' like a grizzley bear
(F) Had to get the honeysuck(C)le out of your (G) hair
But, in the (F) morning light, you looked her right in the eye
It (C) wasn't a lie, we didn't go near the (G) water
We (G) fell right (F) in way (C) over our (F) heads
But, we (G) didn't go (F) near the (C) water (F)
In (G) love - in (F) deep - so (C) young and (F) sweet
And the (D) nights got hotter and (D7) hotter
We were (G) sure 'nuff (F) gettin' our (C) feet wet, (F) mama
But, we (G) didn't go (F) near the (C) water (F)
Your (G) mama used to worry 'bout that big muddy river
(D) She shoulda worried 'bout (D7) me
We were (G) sure 'nuff (F) gettin' our (C) feet wet, (F) mama
But, we (G) didn't go (F) near the (C) water (F)
(F) Didn't go (C) near the (G) water
(F) Didn't go (C) near the water (G)
