Thread Name: Lyr Req: Carried Water for the Elephant (L Carr)
Subject: I Carried Water For The Elephant
Jim Kweskin And The Jug Band recorded a song in the mid to late sixties that included the words....

The circus came to town, to the circus I went.
I went down to the circus tent.
I saw the whole show, didn't cost a cent,
'Cause I carried water for the elephant.

I carried water for the elephant.
Back and forth to the well I went.
My arms got sore and my back got bent.
Still, I couldn't fill up the elephant.

Anyone know any more?

Thanks,

Kevin
