Oh, i asked him for water, he gave me gasoline
Oh, i asked him for water, he gave me gasoline
I asked him for water, he gave me gasoline
I went down to the depot looked up on the board
I went down to the depot looked up on the board
Saw that train a running but i could not get on board
I asked the conductor can i ride the blinds
I asked the conductor can i ride the blinds
Said girl buy your ticket buy your ticket
Cause this train ain't none of mine
Solo
Oh, i asked him for water, he gave me gasoline
Oh, i asked him for water, he gave me gasoline
I asked him for water, he gave me gasoline
