 Subject: THE WATER'S SO COLD
 THE WATER'S SO COLD
 Recorded by Stonewall Jackson
 Writer: Harlan Howard
 [E] The crest of the waves, break [A] over my [E] head
 My strength's about [A] gone and soon I'll be [E] dead
 I'd rather be dead, out here in the [A] sea
 Than to love a [E] woman, who'll [A] never love [E] me.
 
 CHORUS
 Oh! The Water's So [A] Cold (The Water's So Cold)
 Out here in the [E] dark (out here in the dark)
 The Water's So [A] Cold (The Water's So Cold)
 ((As cold as your [B7] heart))
 The lights from the [E] shore (the lights from the shore)
 Are fast growing [A] dim (are fast growing dim)
 ((The Water's So [E] Cold, I can't [A] hardly [E] swim.))
 
 I offered my ring, I offered my name
 She said, "You're a child!", she put me to shame
 if she saw me now, she'd have to agree
 Most men couldn't swim, this far out to sea.
 
 CHORUS
 
 TAG: ((The Water's So Cold, I can't hardly swim.))
 
 Note. (Backup singers); ((Stonewall and backup singers))
