Cool Blue Water Words & Music By John Barrett Copyright 2022 – BMI Nashville I was wishin I could disappear Go fishin where the water’s clear So I loaded up my truck and drove A hundred miles to the Gulf Coast Out on A pier with a cold beer My fishin pole and my fishin gear I cast out - as far as I could I said a prayer - I hoped it was a good one Kickin back when the line jerked Lord I guess my little prayer worked I reeled in and to my surprise A mermaid Beauty at the end of the line She said “Come with me baby cause I gotta plan”. Then she smiled and she took my hand She took me Oh, Oh, Oh Down in The Cool Blue Water She said “You know I’ve been looking for a good man So goin fishin was a good plan Now we goin low oh oh Way down in the Cool Blue Water” “Then together we swam away Out past Pensacola Bay And when we got to the coral reef We dove down and I couldn’t believe - my eyes” A little cottage in a valley A Sea horse in the coralee I thought I heard a church bell ring Catfish settin on a porch swing Now I’m living such a good life 2 kids and a beautiful wife A mermaid daughter a Manatee son Good Lord we have a lot of fun now – Come with me baby . . .
