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
