Subject: RE: it stoned me
Let's see if I remember...

Half a mile from the county fair,the rain came pourin down

Me and Billy standin there,with a silver half a crown

Had to pull up fishin rods, 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

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,yeah it stoned me

Then the rain let up,and the sun came out,and we were gettin 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

Then we looked at the swim and we jumped right in,not to mention fishin 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 goin home,yeah it stoned me

On the way back home we sang a song,but our throats were gettin 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,yeah it stoned me(repeat 3 times)
