Oh, I see you sitting up high on a bank
You look a little bit out of place don’tcha think
Water dog, water dog
The water got high and left you high and dry, water dog
I see you clinging to the cottonwood trunk
You lose your grip, fall off and hit the ground, clunk
Water dog, water dog
The water got high and left you high and dry, water dog
Oh now, I see you sitting on your big lily-pad
Thinking ‘bout the good times that we could-a had
Water dog, water dog
The water got high and left you high and dry, water dog
I say fee, fee, fie, fie, foe ,foe, fan
I smell the breath of a guitar man
Water dog, water dog
The water got high and left you high and dry, water dog
I say one two three six seven nineteen
You’re beatin’ your dad-gum I ever seen ??
Water dog, water dog
The water got high and left you high and dry, water dog
Well now, I’m gonna look at you one more time
And if’n it’s the last time that’ll be fine
Water dog, water dog
The water got high and left you high and dry, water dog
