Gimme Some Water

Mama never understood
 What it's like for a losing man
 When her number one son goes bad
 Playing cards with the devil's hand
 But 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
 Give me some water
 'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border
 Cool, cool water
 Give me some water
 I need a little water
 Jimmy grew up so fast
 Then 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 the fires on the desert sand
 'Til one day the posse caught us
 'Cause the sheriff always gets his man
 Give me 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 without that gun
 ♪
 Give me 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 may hands, of course
 Tell my mother that I'm finally free
 Let me die like a man, no one understands
 Let me pray that a poor man pray
 Smack that horse in the ass, with my last dying gasp
 My brother could hear me say
 Give me some water
 'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border
 Cool, cool water
 Give me some water
 Give me some water
 'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border
 Cool, cool water
 Give me some water
 Give me some water
 'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border
 Cool, cool water
 Give me some water
 Give me some water
 'Cause I killed a man on the Mexican border
 Cool, sweet water
 Give me some water
