Gimme Some Water
Money, Eddie

Mama never understood what it's like for a losin' 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

Gimme some water! 'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border
Cool, cool water
Gimme 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

Gimme 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 with that big gun

[Solo]

Gimme some water! 'Cause I killed a man on the Mexican border
Cool, cool water

Can't you see that long white rope hanging from the hangman's tree?
Take the restless horse, tie my hands of course, tell my mother that I'm finally free
Let me die like a man, no one understands - Let me pray, let a poor man pray!
Smack that horse in the ass... with my last dying gasp... my brother could hear me say

Gimme some water! 'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border
Cool, cool water
Gimme some water

Gimme some water! 'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border
Cool, cool water
Gimme some water


Gimme some water! 'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border
Cool, cool water
Gimme some water

Gimme some water! 'Cause I killed a man on the Mexican border
Cool, sweet water
Gimme some water!
