[Verse 1]
I went down to the water's edge
Bit of line, an old bent pin
Just when I thought I'd caught her
First she laughed and then she pulled me in

[Verse 2]
Down among the weeds and tincans
Soon the light was growing dim
When she let me up for air
It's no time like now to learn to swim

[Verse 3]
All the sharks have gone to market
All the blackbirds gone to sea
She tells me keep your money
Some things you only get for free
