Yes, sir, detective

I know the man in your photograph

He had his eye on my sister

And that’s where it all went bad

Oh, I love that girl to death

But everybody knows

She’s hard on the heart and I told him so

I said, fool, fool, don’t be a fool

Don’t go swimmin’ in the devil’s pool

She’ll pull you down, Mother Nature’s rule

Don’t go swimmin’ in the devil’s pool

Many men before him have fallen for her charms

Waded into the water and drowned there in her arms

Well I could not bear to see him caught in the undertow

So I grabbed him by the hand and said please don’t go

Last time I saw him

He was puttin’ on his boots

Whisperin’ I’m sorry

And sneakin’ out my room

For you see I tried to save him

But he would not reach for me

So I watched him slip away into the deep

Yeah, I watched him slip away into the deep

Fool, fool, don’t be a fool

Don’t go swimmin’ in the devil’s pool

She’ll pull you down, Mother Nature’s rule

Don’t go swimmin’ in the devil’s pool

Fool, fool, don’t be a fool

Don’t go swimmin’ in the devil’s pool

She’ll pull you down, Mother Nature’s rule

Don’t go swimmin’ in the devil’s pool

Fool, fool, don’t be a fool

Fool, fool, don’t be a fool

If you wanna find that fool

You can find him at the bottom of the devil’s pool
