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.
chorus
Oh, the water. Oh, the water.
Oh, the water. Hope it don't rain all day.
(2nd time: Let it run all over me)
(3rd time: 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.
Then 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.
Yeah, we looked at the swim and we jumped right in, Not to mention fishing poles.
On the way back home we sang a song, But our throats were getting 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.
