Water boy how bring your water round how
Shackles on my feet how these chains hurtin' my leg
Water boy how water boy how
Bring your water wrong they got me chained down
And this old prisoner I don't care
I don't see my baby no more ah she done called how
I'm in the shade how water boy how
Water boy how bring your water round how
How oh how water boy how
The sun is beamin' down how
They feed me slop all day long how
How water boy water boy how
My legs are gettin' weak the shackles on my feet how
Water boy they got the old shotgun how how
The pistols too how they all around me
Shackles on my feet how
How water boy how bring me some water how
Sun a-beamin' how down on me in this old prisoner
In this old prisoner how how how
Shackles on my feet chains around my leg
The chains are hurtin' my leg how how
