Lyrics:

Half a mile from the county fair and the rain keep pourin' down
Me and Billy standin' there with a silver half a crown
Hands are full of a fishin' rod and 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
Hope it don't rain all day

And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me

And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin' home
And it stoned me

And the rain let up and the sun came up and we were gettin' dry
Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by
So we jumped right in and the driver grinned and he dropped us up the road
And we looked at the swim and we jumped right in, not to mention fishing poles

Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Let it run all over me

And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me

And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin' home
And it stoned me

On the way back home, we sang a song but our throats were getting dry
Then we saw the man from across the road with the sunshine in his eyes
Well, he lived all alone in his own little home with a great big gallon jar
There were bottles too, one for me and you and he said, 'Hey, there you are'

Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Get it myself from the mountain stream

And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me

And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin' home
And it stoned me

And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me

And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin' home
And it stoned me
