Don’t Go Near The Water Children See The Fish
All Dead Upon The Shore
Don’t Go Near The Water Cause
The Water Isn’t Water Anymore
From The Fountains In The Mountains Comes
The Water Running Cool And Clear And Blue
And It Comes Down From The Hills
And It Goes Down To The Towns And Passes Through
When It Gets Down To The Cities
Then The Water Turns Into A Dirty Grey
Cause It’s Poisoned And Polluted By The People
As It Goes Along Its Way
Don’t Go Near The Water Children…
I Was Sitting’ On The Bank Of The Lake
At Home Fishing’ With My Little Boy
I Said Have You Got A Bite Yet Son
He Said No Sir Have You Daddy
I Said I Believe I Got A Nibble
He Said Daddy If We Catch A Fish Can We Cook Them
And Eat Them I Said Maybe We’d Better Not Son
They Say It May Not Be Safe To Eat
A Fish From This Water Anymore
Don’t Go Near The Water Children…
Don’t Go Near The Water Children…
Don’t Go Near The Water Children…
