lyrics
Bring me some water, I’m dying of thirst
Give me direction, I took a turn for the worse
But show me a sign, I’m going to need that first
I’ve had money, and I’ve had none
I’ve had me a woman well, maybe more than one
And I’ve had the blues, ever since I was young
Darkness all around me, no stars in the sky
My lips are cracked and my throat is dry
So bring me some water or I’m surely goin’ to die
Don’t know if there’s a heaven, but I don’t want to go to hell
I threw my last dime into the wishing well
What’s keeping me alive, I just can’t tell
I never get to sleep ‘til I close eyes
I wasn’t scared of living, I ain’t afraid to die
So, bring me some water, the end is growing nigh
Give me direction, I took a turn for the worse
But show me a sign, I’m going to need that first
I’ve had money, and I’ve had none
I’ve had me a woman well, maybe more than one
And I’ve had the blues, ever since I was young
Darkness all around me, no stars in the sky
My lips are cracked and my throat is dry
So bring me some water or I’m surely goin’ to die
Don’t know if there’s a heaven, but I don’t want to go to hell
I threw my last dime into the wishing well
What’s keeping me alive, I just can’t tell
I never get to sleep ‘til I close eyes
I wasn’t scared of living, I ain’t afraid to die
So, bring me some water, the end is growing nigh
