And It Stoned Me

Half a mile from the county fair and the rain came pouring down Me and billy were standing there we had a sliver half of crown Our arms are full of fishing rods had the tackle on our backs We just stood there gettin' wet with our backs against the fence Oh the water Oh the water Oh the water I hope it don't rain all day It stoned me to my soul It stoned me just like jelly roll Well it stoned me It stoned me to my soul It stoned me just like going home, going home Rain let up and the sun came up we were getting dry Almost let a pickup truck nearly pass us by Well we jumped right in and the driver grinned and he dropped us up the road We saw the swing and we jumped right in not to mention the fishing poles Oh the water Oh the water Oh the water Let it run all over me It stoned me to my soul It stoned me just like jelly roll, stoned me It stoned me to my soul It stoned me just like going home, and a jelly roll On the way back home we sang a song our throats were getting dry We saw a man from across the road he had the sunset in his eyes He lived all alone in his own little home he had a great big gallon jar There were bottles two, one for me and you and he said, "hey there you are" Oh the water Oh the water Oh the water I get it myself from the mountain stream It stones me to my soul It stoned me just like jelly roll, stoned me It stoned me to my soul It stoned me just like jelly roll It stoned me Just like jelly roll I'm coming home It stoned me just like going home
