Happy Birthday Jesus! Can any of you good folks help me with the lyrics and tab to "Water From Another Time" by John McCutcheon? Or a link where I can find it? It doesn't seem to be in the db.

Thanks in advance,

Bo in KY

Spaw - Thanks for the tip. I'm in Cynthiana - northeast of Lesington. Never been to Berea (haven't been here long) heard it's nice though. Thanks again for your help!

Water From Another Time
Albums
Water From Another Time
Gonna Rise Again

New mown hay on a July morn
Grandkids running through the knee-high corn
Sunburned nose and a scabbed-up knee
From a rope on the white oak tree
Just another summer's day at Grandpa's farm
With Grandma's bucket hanging off my arm
You know, the old pump's rusty but it work fine
Primed with water from another time
CHORUS:


The old ways help the new ways come
Just leave a little extra for the next in line
They're gonna need a little water from another time
Tattered quilt on the goose-down bed
"Every stitch tells a story," my Grandma said
Her mama's nightgown, her grandpa's pants
And the dress she wore to her high school dance
Now wrapped at night in its patchwork scenes
I waltz with Grandma in my dreams
My arms, my heart, my life entwined
With water from another time
Chorus

Newborn cry in the morning air
The past and future are wedded there
This wellspring of my sons and daughters:
The bone and blood of living waters
And, though Grandpa's hand have gone to dust,
Like Grandma's pump: reduced to rust,
Their stories quench my soul and mind
Like water from another time

Chorus
