High and dry in the long hot day
Lost and lonely in every way
Got the flats all around me sky up above
Yes I need a little water of love
I've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain
Crying out for some soothing rain
I believe I have taken enough
Yes I need a little water of love
Water of love deep in the ground
But there ain't no water here to be found
Some day baby when the river runs free
It'll carry that water of love to me
Theres a bird up in a tree sitting up high
Justa waiting for me to die
If I dont get some water soon
I'll be dead and gone in the afternoon
Water of love deep in the ground
But there ain't no water here to be found
Some day baby when the river runs free
It'll carry that water of love to me
Once I had a woman I could call my own
Once I had a woman now my woman she gone
Once there was a river now theres a stone
You know its evil when you're living alone
Water of love deep in the ground
But there ain't no water here to be found
Some day baby when the river runs free
It'll carry that water of love to me carry that Water of love deep in the ground
But there ain't no water here to be found
Some day baby when the river runs free
It'll carry that water of love to me |
