I swam out too far from the shore

Afraid you won't see me anymore

Out in the middle of a rolling sea

With the waves and the water washing over me

Mama

Don't let me down

I love you more than I did before

So don't let me drown

I'm drowning in this sea of love

Can't see the land or the sky above

Hurry up  baby  get a hold of me

'Fore the devil in this water set my soul free

Mama

Don't let me drown

If I still mean anything to you

Don't let me down

Mama

I'm drowning

I'm not waving hello

I ain't clowning around wit'cha  baby

Don't let me go

If you see me lost and drifting around

Reach out for me  don't let me pull you down

It's over my head  mama  don't let me drown

It's getting so quiet I can't hear a

MAMA

Don't let me drown

You swim so much better than me

Don't let me drown

Yeah  mama

Don't let me drown

Yeah  mama

Mama

Don't let me drown
