I was little when this song was coming out. I can't believe my parents allowed me to sing this. As I grew up, I realized the meaning and love it even more than I did as a kid
I was 9 and I knew this song word for word pretty much after the first handful of times I heard it,but I had a completely innocent perception of the song,not knowing what it was really about then. Which is probably why my mom didn't care at all that I sang along to it every time I heard it.
Country music has changed growing up I listen to George jones, George strait, Arron tippin, and a lot more of great TRUE COUNTRY MUSIC SINGERS.but now a days it's all about how tight there jeans are and perfect bodies, ITS NOT COUNTRY ANYMORE ...... God bless America.!!!! Bring our true country music back...
George was the only true country music singer you mentioned though. Those other guys are too new and not near same time period as great country music.. love their music . And when you wrote your comment you lacked the sense of common sense.. from the time George Jones and those real greats where singing guys like arron tippin and George straight came in in their verry very tight blue jeans.. cause country change.. it will continue to change. Just cause it's different don't mean it's not country . Just not the country you prefer and are used to
My mama always loved Sammy Kershaw, but i didn't realize how right mama could be till i was grown. Ol sammy is solid country GOLD, and if you listen carefully to his voice, at times you'd mistake him for George Jones
I told my new puppy yesterday “don’t go near the water girl”. Then this fucking song played in my head ALL DAY! I woke up thinking about it……so, here I am now 😂 Thanks Sammy 👍🏻 Catchy tune.
When I was little we had creek near our house and my mamma said don't go near the water and I said I got feet wet but I didn't go near the water my mom would just laughed at me
Man, I remember having this on cassette! Wow, time flies....but this and other artists like Dwight, Trace Adkins, Joe Diffie, Brooks & Dunn, Aaron Tippin The Mavericks, etc....were the country I grew up with.
Я живу в России, я русский, но я обожаю слушать американские кантри-песни (США). Особенно я часто слушаю песни Сэмми Кершоу, и песни Джонни Кэша. Вообще Сэмми Кершоу и Джонни Кэш - это уже легенды американской кантри-музыки 😎🤗
you have given them more credit in addition to the other credits they've already received. you've also let strangers that you will never meet know that another stranger they will never meet enjoys listening to some popular singers.
yeah. sadly i wonder if there is any hope left for this country. the economic downturn seems almost impossible to reverse without a civil war or something.
l agree with you, indeed Sammy Kershaw is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
Feels like country music just doesn't come close to this anymore, too much punk/rock/rap it doesn't have the same charm as this and yet it's labeled country.
Oldie but a goody bet that Sammy back in the day we played our cassette until it broke and go buy another. You were with us in everything we did wouldn’t have made it with you so Thank you Sammy.
When I was 10 or so my Mother would let me spend my summers with my Aunt in Colorado. I remember when this song came out, she was so much fun. RIP Auntie EllaMae.
Yeah, country is my absolute favorite genre of music, but I had to quit listening to country radio about 20 years ago. Today's country sucks ass, and the singers are talentless.
I remember it being my grandma’s while watching CMT back when you had to have those huge satellite dishes to have access to if since it wasn’t available on our cable channels. 📡
A 7yr old comment and I love that you said this my dude..my mama and I were just talking about this same thing..35yrs old now and it takes me back to a much simpler and happier time..cheers man
That man walked out of the Jonesville feedstore and looked at me i wanted to shake his 👋 but to many people was around all i got was a smile and a wave !!!
l agree with you, indeed Sammy Kershaw is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
This song came out when I was 12, and really starting to get into Country music. We got CMT and cable TV that year in 1991. I was so happy. And this music was not mainstream, so I felt kind of cool for listening to it. I also loved Suzy Bogguss and many of the other songs at that time.
you know people have been saying that about the next generation of music since the first person beat on a drum. when they added a second drum - people said it was not as good - get over yourself
TheFizzypop83 put it plain and simply: real country is about real men loving real women. no need to go slapping grandma or talking about someone's ass. that's not country music. that's other kinds of music. i miss the country music from the late 80s through the mid 90s. THAT was REAL country. i'm so glad some internet radio stations have 90s country stations to listen to. GO SAMMY! yer girl's mama really should have been more worried about YOU than some creek water.
l agree with you, indeed Sammy Kershaw is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
I love this song!!! It's as good now as it was when it was new. I've got a song, fire in the hay loft, same idea. What ain't being said, is as clear as what is being said. We were all teens once, I sure can relate to this great old tune !!! Go Sammy!!!!
I went and seen a show with Sammy, Colin ray and Aaron tipping this year atthe well theater in Brandon mo. Great show! It way and all acoustic set, but still good. Sammy is my #1 fav country artist and always will be. Catch him live!
That 'son she's my only daughter' line.. I heard that in real life on several occasions. And they were all real fine daughters also haha lol. hey man I brought them back in one piece.. kinda
I forgot how great Sammy Kershaw's music was/IS! I didn't realize how much I've missed hearing this song and so many others like it of the time! This used to be a favorite of mine for sure, even before I realized it's true meaning, really liked it after I completely understood it's content lol And now it's become something that's filled with nostalgic value & holds fond memories and evokes, feelings & even longing for days of the past! At least it takes me back to the feelings and excitement of just starting to explore and experience life! Part of my the soundtrack to my life's movie, if there were a movie to my life, it'd be on the soundtrack! Lol REALLY happy I came across this song once more, it's been years since I've heard it or any of Kershaw's music and I've traveled so far from those days, farther than I meant to at times! Definitely gonna go revisit the country music greats of the 90s and the songs like this that were charting in the days of my teenaged life, this just made me realize I've been gone too long🤎
I remember this song when it was still hot off the press riding the radio charts. I was 4 years old riding in the car with my mom country music laid the foundation for my youth in the very early 90s. Very special.
Girbaud jeans. The white tag in the front gives it away. Lol. Now those are definitely a blast from the past. I was 14 in 1992 and had to pay half for the pair I wanted. I had to babysit all summer to pay my half. Lol. Oh, the memories.
You got that damn right. Country music is for real people not for assholes. I do the same thing and I too see negative comments on there and the people don't even know who the artist is at all.
Hello🥰 How you doing today I hope you good and coping with the weather? Am using these means to reach out to my lovely and supporting fan of mine and am also using these means to thank you for supporting my career without you all am no one. Thank you for the likes and comment on my page✌✌ Sammy’s Care 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Sad but funny story.. I used to think travis tritt sang this song and i looked for hours and hours only saw Sammy Kershaw and it never dawned on me.. Lmao thought that he must have also sung the song also.. Man was i slow as a kid.
This is Amanda Cannon, this song reminds me of the country living in pixley, ca.. loved the muddie river. With all my brothers and sister. And the Alston boys. O' how I miss the old days 1996/1998
I guess sammy kershaw doesnt want anybody else to go near the water if he wants to be left alone and be by himself i would feel the same too if i was a celebrity

If you listen real close at the very beginning of the video, you hear the fiddle come in way in the background, and then the song starts, and you hear the fiddle like you're supposed to. This is a strange phenomenon that's affecting all the old tape reels. What happens is, when the tape is wound up, the information is actually stored on the tape in a magnetic way... when the tape sits for many years, some of the magnetic parts actually magnetize the layer of tape directly under it on the reel. So over years, loud parts of the song (like that fiddle) get copied onto a slightly earlier portion of the tape (1 revolution around the spool back). Just shows that this was copied at some point from a really old tape, I hope they have a master of this great video somewhere so it lasts forever.
That’s when country was country.
I was little when this song was coming out. I can't believe my parents allowed me to sing this. As I grew up, I realized the meaning and love it even more than I did as a kid

LMAO. You were young and innocent
Born in 1990...same here 🤣
Of course a few years later lol

2:28 that's me driving by in the background. I remember looking over and thinking oh there's Sammy shooting his new music video. True story.
It's true I was there. I was the car
😂😂😂😂 @@rileyhargis1722
My mama always loved Sammy Kershaw, but i didn't realize how right mama could be till i was grown. Ol sammy is solid country GOLD, and if you listen carefully to his voice, at times you'd mistake him for George Jones
This whole album was a tribute to george jones I thought.
I have watched this song hundreds of times and you are right , Why Saddlebags >>> I never understood that.... LOL
Right
I told my new puppy yesterday “don’t go near the water girl”. Then this fucking song played in my head ALL DAY! I woke up thinking about it……so, here I am now 😂
Thanks Sammy 👍🏻
Catchy tune.
This song has a charm that's lost on today's youth. Where has the American male gone?
When I was little we had creek near our house and my mamma said don't go near the water and I said I got feet wet but I didn't go near the water my mom would just laughed at me
Man, I remember having this on cassette! Wow, time flies....but this and other artists like Dwight, Trace Adkins, Joe Diffie, Brooks & Dunn, Aaron Tippin The Mavericks, etc....were the country I grew up with.
Exactly. Great stuff.
Also Doug Stone, Shenandoah, Marty Stuart, and on and on.
Makes you feel old when you're not! Lol
what about Johnny Rebel
Same. I grew up on 90s country.
When the river flows red, take the dirt road home instead.
If it's bludy take da 1 dats mudy
I sang this song to my mom and she would laugh at me

woooo, nostalgia!
"Your momma used to worry bout that big muddy river, she should have worried bout me!" haha
Steel guitars is what makes good country songs. And mamma. .trucks...prison...trains. and rain.
And gettin' drunk lol
Kaplan, Louisiana. Yes sir. True Cajun. Same here.
The 90's were good to me...lots of money, cheap gas, and a good feeling in the air, great decade! 2014 is a nervous, uneasy time.
you nailed it Bobby
yeah. sadly i wonder if there is any hope left for this country. the economic downturn seems almost impossible to reverse without a civil war or something.
***** The next Civil War will be a race war American T.V. giving out racial bullshit lies.
Bob Silver get a real job
pat flan whats that mean?
One of my favorite artists. Miss this quality of country music.
mine too.
Mine too and I miss this kind of music.
Oh my goodness me too❤🎶
Same. The country music nowadays is horrible. Uh oh I think we turned into our parents lol
For sure!
i wish new music was as good as this music.
me and you both
Love the fiddle in this
Hello renny.. how are you doing?
l agree with you, indeed Sammy Kershaw is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of
beautiful days.
"WE were sho' nuff gettin' our feet wet, mama, but we didn't go near the water..." Clever lyric.
Back for another listen!❤😂❤😂
What a beautiful man, love his style of singing. Miss this country sound.
Feels like country music just doesn't come close to this anymore, too much punk/rock/rap it doesn't have the same charm as this and yet it's labeled country.
Country ❤
Oldie but a goody bet that Sammy back in the day we played our cassette until it broke and go buy another. You were with us in everything we did wouldn’t have made it with you so Thank you Sammy.
ACC's #93 song of the '92 survey year. Sammy hit #12 in Billboard, 5-9-92.
This is one of those songs that you didn't realize was dirty until you became an adult
I was 15 ish when it finally dawned on me.. Up till then i was singing it all the time.. Lmao
I never knew that.
I didn't understand the meaning either until I was older
Taking the dirt road home
Didn't no till I read this commit😂
When I was 10 or so my Mother would let me spend my summers with my Aunt in Colorado. I remember when this song came out, she was so much fun. RIP Auntie EllaMae.
90s country is the best country, change my lol
Alway`s cared for his voice.
The country music industry isn't good enough for guys like Sammy and that's
why nobody sees ol Sammy no more. It wouldn't even know him.
He's coming back... Just saw him live last night, him and Aaron tippon are very upset with the direction of country music and they're touring together
I remember being pissed when Shania turned up on a show on a motorcycle wearing leather.
Yeah, country is my absolute favorite genre of music, but I had to quit listening to country radio about 20 years ago. Today's country sucks ass, and the singers are talentless.
I remember being a kid and hearing my momma sing along to this song lol. Alot of memories from back when country was good
Legend of Peacock 90s country

90s country. Nothing like it!!

Sammy kershaw is a very good singer
Sammy Kershaw amazing. This is when country music was real.

It wasn't mainstream? It was one of the songs regularly played on country radio at the time.
This song still electrifies me. Masterful arrangement and interpretation.
Robby Bonter this song was written by my uncle. Jimmy foster
All around great .
Robby Bonter it was good til I saw this shit video
James Smith yeah it was written for him
I remember being in HS and singing along with this song. I love older country music.
Wish I was born in those days
One of many singers from Louisiana
a truly brilliant artist love every song he sings
new country has nothing on the old period!
you know people have been saying that about the next generation of music since the first person beat on a drum. when they added a second drum - people said it was not as good - get over yourself
Amen To That
New country isn't country! But what ever it is... It sucks!
my aunt was in this music video
That's so cool
I miss his music!
Smiles, same here Tracy, how are you doing? 🌺 😊
Sammy kershaw was awesome
Sammy Kershaw is awesome
I remember as a kid seeing this video. I thought he had a guitar! But now I see he has saddle bags over his shoulder! Why? Love the song BTW!
Am 67and still think Sammy is one of sexiest men in country then and now.
Smiles, hi there 🌺 😊
country music can't hold a candle to samys music!
I swear I haven’t heard this song since I was a kid. I never knew what “the water” was til now. (SmhLOL)
#make country music good again
Kevin Gentry amen 🇺🇸
PLEASE Sammy.I'm so worried about you.
He needs to run for governor!!!!
Just reminiscing of my younger years ...Thank You!!!
Love his voice
Sammy is The Man The mid 80s and 90s Country was good, the stuff now is like Pop in to many ways.

+QueenOfTheSea101 a really good new country artist is Sturgill Simpson. check him out. you won't regret it
Yes, I would agree that country music of the late 80s to mid 90s was the best. I don't like it today. I don't listen to it now.
Boys was boys and girls was girls
I absolutely love country music and all these old songs bring back memories.
Smiles, a lot memories Rachel, how are you doing? 🌺 😊

Heard this song on spotlight TV today I'm in the south of Ireland I'm just glad I found it again on TH-cam great song
I remember this in the early 90s!

True idol!!
Hello Kimberly
How are you doing?
It's nice to have you here!
I went and seen a show with Sammy, Colin ray and Aaron tipping this year atthe well theater in Brandon mo. Great show! It way and all acoustic set, but still good. Sammy is my #1 fav country artist and always will be. Catch him live!
His name is AARON TIPPIN NOT TIPPING!
Don't use their names of CAN'T SPELL them correctly! It's AARON TIPPIN AND COLLIN RAYE
One of my favorites from the 90s country. Voice is unmatched.
That 'son she's my only daughter' line.. I heard that in real life on several occasions. And they were all real fine daughters also haha lol. hey man I brought them back in one piece.. kinda
@lilreject88 i agree 100% with you .. i am 21..and i remember listening to Sammy when i was REALLY young.
I got one don't go near Nashville it's not country any more
This is when country music was good. I was young when this song came out.
One my Grandmas favs Id sing with her as a kid lol I had no idea .. she’s gone now , I’d give anything to sing this with her again

Girbaud jeans. The white tag in the front gives it away. Lol. Now those are definitely a blast from the past. I was 14 in 1992 and had to pay half for the pair I wanted. I had to babysit all summer to pay my half. Lol. Oh, the memories.
Soooooo happy I got to see him live with my wife. She was amazed I knew every single line to every single song!
I had to hear this song I just seen Sammy last week and he didn't play it what a bummer .
You got that damn right. Country music is for real people not for assholes. I do the same thing and I too see negative comments on there and the people don't even know who the artist is at all.
Hoping to see him in Biloxi in Nov 30th

Me too I was born in the mid to late 80s and I would do anything to go back to that time.
October 15, 2021. Still jamming this classic. I hope to see this legend in concert one day. Such an amazing song, it even had my kids dancing earlier.
We need to hear more of Sammy Kershaw. Haven't seen him for a few years.

Sammy was very instrumental in bringing the man purse into the mainstream...
I met Sammy in Oak Grove KY. I had fixed his bus and got a signed poster from him even though he was sick.
Sad but funny story.. I used to think travis tritt sang this song and i looked for hours and hours only saw Sammy Kershaw and it never dawned on me.. Lmao thought that he must have also sung the song also.. Man was i slow as a kid.
A great song and a great video. sammy kershaw is the man
❤😂🎉🎉😢😮😅
You would never hear this on Y-108 or I Heart Radio for sure!

If you listen real close at the very beginning of the video, you hear the fiddle come in way in the background, and then the song starts, and you hear the fiddle like you're supposed to. This is a strange phenomenon that's affecting all the old tape reels. What happens is, when the tape is wound up, the information is actually stored on the tape in a magnetic way... when the tape sits for many years, some of the magnetic parts actually magnetize the layer of tape directly under it on the reel. So over years, loud parts of the song (like that fiddle) get copied onto a slightly earlier portion of the tape (1 revolution around the spool back). Just shows that this was copied at some point from a really old tape, I hope they have a master of this great video somewhere so it lasts forever.
