One day I decided I would go And wet my line down at the fishing hole Found you sitting there in a calico dress On the banks, bare feeting hanging over the edge. It was July hot, about a hundred and ten That river looked inviting so we jumped right in We'd only been friends up until that summer But that all changed the moment we went under. Something in the water that we did not see Reached up and grabbed a hold of you and me Jumped in to cool off but we came out hotter Lord have mercy must be something in the water. We started smiling then we started laughing We swam around, kicking and a splashing Not sure exactly just what it was, but we Dove in the river and fell in love. Look at the surface, you don't see nothing But underneath, Lord, it's really something One little kiss was all it took Came here to fish and we sure got hooked. Something in the water that we did not see Reached up and grabbed a hold of you and me Jumped in to cool off but we came out hotter Lord have mercy must be something in the water. I believe that I could make a million bucks If I could only find a way to bottle it up. Something in the water that we did not see Reached up and grabbed a hold of you and me Jumped in to cool off but we came out hotter Lord have mercy must be something in the water. Lord have mercy must be something in the water.
