Down By The Water Lyrics by Polly Jean Harvey

Down By The Water Lyrics


    I lost my heart
    Under the bridge
    To that little girl
    So much to me
    And now i'm old
    And now i holler
    She'll never know
    Just what i found

    That blue eyed girl
    (that blue eyed girl)
    She said "no more"
    (she said "no more")
    That blue eyed girl
    (that blue eyed girl)
    Became blue eyed whore
    ('came blue eyed whore)
    Down by the water
    (down by the water)
    I took her hand
    (i took her hand)
    Just like my daughter
    (just like my daughter)
    Won't see her again
    (see her again)

    Oh help me jesus
    Come through this storm
    I had to lose her
    To do her harm
    I heard her holler
    (i heard her holler)
    I heard her moan
    (i heard her moan)
    My lovely daughter
    (my lovely daughter)
    I took her home
    (i took her home)

    Little fish. big fish. swimming in the water.
    Come back here, man. gimme my daughter.
    Little fish. big fish. swimming in the water.
    Come back here, man. gimme my daughter.
    Little fish. big fish. swimming in the water.
    Come back here, man. gimme my daughter ....
