And It Stoned Me

Lyrics

Half a mile from the county fair
 And the rain came pouring down
 Me and Billy standing there
 With a silver half a crown
 Hands are full of the fishing rod
 And the tackle on our backs
 We just stood there getting 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 going home
 And it stoned me
 And the rain let up, and the sun came up
 While we were getting dry
 Almost let a pickup 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 going 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 eye
 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 going 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 going home
 And it stoned me
