High and dry in the long hot day
Lost and lonely in every way
Got the flats all around me sky up above
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
I need a little water of love

Water of love deep in the ground
No water here to be found
Some day baby when the [bad word] free
It’ll carry that water of love to me

There’s a bird up in a tree sitting up high
Waiting for me to die
If I don’t get some water soon
I’ll be dead and gone in the afternoon

Water of love deep in the ground
No water here to be found
Some day baby when the [bad word] 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 is gone
Once there was a river now there’s a stone
You know it’s evil when you’re living alone

Water of love deep in the ground
No water here to be found
Some day baby when the [bad word] free
It’ll carry that water of love to me
