Ron D Bowes - Drowning Man Lyrics

Miss Abigail has breakfast tea
With scrambled eggs and ham
Her husband reads the morning news
Before the traffic jam
And later on Miss Abigail
Will bed the butler Ned
She'll drink his blood and drain him dry
And leave him out for dead

You can lead a horse to water
But you sure can't make him drink
You can't teach a drowning man to swim
You can't tell him not to sink

John Jameson, with a helping hand
Cut the wedding cake
He didn't know his blushing bride had slept with his brother Jake
The bridesmaids jump into the beds of any man who will
The best man is a married man
But loves his boyfriend Bill

You can lead a horse to water
But you sure can't make him drink
You can't teach a drowning man to swim
You can't tell him not to sink

Gerald takes the morning train into Waterloo
He's late for work, and doesn't care
Well, what more can he do?
And Abigail keeps drinking blood
Her hands are dripping red
She licks it off her fingertips
And then she shakes her head

You can lead a horse to water
But you sure can't make him drink
You can't teach a drowning man to swim
You can't tell him not to sink
