Lyrics:

Don't stop by the creek, son, that's what my Daddy said
Don't stop by the creek, son, that's what my Daddy said
Didn't hear my Daddy's voice, and I almost end up dead

Take ol' Glannon Road, you don't have to go that way
Take ol' Glannon Road, you don't have to go that way
Didn't hear my Daddy's voice, and that's where I went astray

Don't stop by the creek, son, that's what my Daddy said
Don't stop by the creek, son, that's what my Daddy said
Didn't hear my Daddy's voice, and I almost end up dead

Go right straight to school, son, don't be labeled as a fool
Go right straight to school, son, don't be labeled as a fool
But fall in the crowd, that meant one dip in the pool

Don't stop by the creek, son, that's what my Daddy said
Don't stop by the creek, son, that's what my Daddy said
Didn't hear my Daddy's voice, and I almost end up dead

Don't stop by the creek, son, that's what my Daddy said
Don't stop by the creek, son, that's what my Daddy said
Didn't hear my Daddy's voice, and I almost end up dead
