Mama never understood what it's like for a losing man |
|
When her number one son goes bad playing cards with the Devil's Hand |
|
Daddy got real sick so quick - four walls never understand |
|
I was the one who got good with the gun - took the money from the rich man's land |
|
Give me some water 'cause I shot a man on the Mexican border |
|
Cool, cool water |
|
Give me some water |
|
I need a little water |
|
Jimmy grew up so fast and he met me at the pass one day |
|
Said, "You're a wanted man. Take your brother's hand - I'll be running with you, anyway." |
|
So we rode late in the night like fires on the desert sand |
|
'til one day the posse caught us 'cause the sheriff always gets his man |
|
Give me some water 'cause I killed a man on the Mexican border |
|
Cool, cool water |
|
I need a little water |
|
Oh, geeze, if I just get loose my hands |
|
I'd run just as fast as my legs can |
|
But, Lord, I've got no room to run |
|
Shouldn't have done what I did without that gun |
|
Give me some water 'cause I killed a man on the Mexican border |
|
Cool, cool water |
|
Can't you see that long, white rope hanging from the hangman's tree |
|
Take the restless horse; tie may hands, of course; tell my mother that I'm finally free |
|
Let me die like a man - no one understands; let me pray that a poor man pray |
|
Smack that horse in the ass; with my last dying gasp my brother could hear me say |
|
Give me some water 'cause I shot a man on the Mexican border |
|
Cool, cool water |
|
Give me some water |
|
Give me some water 'cause I shot a man on the Mexican border |
|
Cool, cool water |
|
Give me some water |
|
Give me some water 'cause I shot a man on the Mexican border |
|
Cool, cool water |
|
Give me some water |
|
Give me some water 'cause I killed a man on the Mexican border |
|
Cool, sweet water |
|
Give me some water |
