Does anyone have a complete set of lyrics for "Water Train", by the great Michael Hurley. It's from one of his early, post-Folkways recordings, and is a beautiful piece that escaped the raucus treatment given his material by some of the musicians he worked with later. Thanks. Andy

Honey Vizer covers 'Water Train' by Hurley on that Youtube video. The sound quality (live performance) is less than good.

Michael Hurley - Water Train Lyrics
Artist: Michael Hurley

Album: Hi Fi Snock Uptown

One little drink
Was all I had
I didn't need
To drink that bad

I fell asleep
By a stream
Listening to
The water train

Saw my old lady
On the other side
Looking good
Like pumpkin pie
I guess that she
Didn't really die
She had to go
I don't know why

Whatcha gonna do
In your world
It's just an endless stream [?]

I never knew
We were still together
Things ain't what
They may seem

Walking on the ceiling
Like a fly
Head hanging down
In the sky

Some like to go
By plane
Some just like
To go insane

One little drink
Was all I had
I didn't need
To drink that bad
I fell asleep by a stream
Listening to
The water train
