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
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
