Give Me Some Water lyrics
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
