And It Stoned Me
Half a mile from the county fairAnd the rain keep pourin' downMe and Billy standin' thereWith a silver half a crownHands are full of a fishin' rodAnd the tackle on our backsWe just stood there gettin' wetWith our backs against the fence
Oh, the waterHope it don't rain all day
And it stoned me to my soulStoned me just like Jelly RollAnd it stoned meAnd it stoned me to my soulStoned me just like goin' homeAnd it stoned me
Then the rain let up and the sun came upAnd we were gettin' dryAlmost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us bySo we jumped right in and the driver grinnedAnd he dropped us up the roadWe looked at the swim and we jumped right inNot to mention fishing poles
Oh, the waterLet it run all over me
And it stoned me to my soulStoned me just like Jelly RollAnd it stoned meAnd it stoned me to my soulStoned me just like goin' homeAnd it stoned me
On the way back home we sang a songBut our throats were getting dryThen we saw the man from across the roadWith the sunshine in his eyesWell he lived all alone in his own little homeWith a great big gallon jarThere were bottles too, one for me and youAnd he said Hey! There you are
Oh, the waterGet it myself from the mountain stream
And it stoned me to my soulStoned me just like Jelly RollAnd it stoned meAnd it stoned me to my soulStoned me just like goin' homeAnd it stoned me
