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

 Chorus:
 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

 Then 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
 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

 Chorus

 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

 Chorus
