Harry Belafonte – Water Boy lyrics
Waterboy, where are you hiding
If you don't come right here
Gonna tell you pa on you

There ain't no hammer
That's on a this mountain
That ring like mine boy
That ring like mine
I'm gonna bust this rock boy
From here to the Macon
All the way to the jail boy
All the way to the jail

You Jack o diamond
Jack o diamond
Know you of old boy
I know you're of old
You rob-a my pocket
Rob my pocket
Silver and gold boy
Of silver and gold

There ain't no sweat boy
That's on a this mountain
That run like mine boy
That run like mine

    This song reminds me of “Mule Skinner Blues”. Both have a man talking to the Boss, with bravado. And both men call for water. Both songs capture a different time in America - a more rural and tougher time. However, the songs still resonate, since we still have men in prisons & we still have men doing rough & dirty jobs.
