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-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
AND THE RAIN LET UP
AND THE SUN CAME UP
AND WE WERE GETTIN' DRY
ALMOST LET A PICK-UP TRUCK
NEARLY PASS US BY
SO, WE JUMPED RIGHT IN
AND THE DRIVER GRINNED
AND HE DROPPED US
UP THE ROAD
AND WE LOOKED AT THE SWIM
AND WE JUMPED RIGHT IN
NOT TO MENTION FISHIN' POLES
OH, THE WATER
OH-OH, THE WATER
OH, THE WATER
LET IT RUN ALL OVER 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 GOIN' HOME
AND IT STONED ME
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 EYES
WELL, HE LIVED ALL ALONE
IN HIS OWN LITTLE HOME
WITH A GREAT BIG GALLON JAR
THERE WERE BOTTLES TOO
ONE FOR ME AND YOU
AND HE SAID HEY, THERE YOU ARE
OH, THE WATER
OH-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 GOIN' HOME
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 GOIN' HOME
AND IT STONED ME...
