Gimme Some Water |
| 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 |
| Guess 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 |
| Slap 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 |
