Half a mile from the county fair
And the rain came pourin' down
Me and Billy standin' there
With a silver half a crown
Hands are full of a fishin' rod
And the tackle on our backs
We just stood there gettin' wet
With our backs
against the fence
Oh the water, oh the water
oh the water
Hope it don't rain all day.
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like jelly-roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin' home
And it stoned me
Then the rain let up
And the sun came up
And we were gettin' dry
Almost glad a pick-up truck
Nearly passed us by
So we jumped right in
And the driver grinned
And he dropped us up the road
We looked at the swim
And we jumped right in
Not to mention fishing poles
Oh the water, oh the water
oh the water
Let it run all over me
And it stoned me to my soul
Let it run all over me
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Let it run all over me
And it stoned me
<Interlude>
On the way back home
We sang a song
But our throats were gettin' dry
Then we saw the man
From across the road
With the sunshine in his eye
Well he lived all alone
In his own little home
With a great big gallon jar
There were bottles two One for
me and you
And he said
Hey there you are
Oh the water, oh the water
oh the water
Get it myself from the
mountain stream
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like jelly-roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like jelly-roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like jelly-roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like jelly-roll
And it stoned me
e the time and get it right
