Gimme Some Water

Mama never understood what it's like for a losin' man.
When her number-one son goes bad playin' cards with the devil's hand.
Boy, Daddy got real sick so quick ******* never understand.
I was the one who got good with the gun, took the money from the rich man's hand.
Gimme some water!
'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, cool water…
Gimme some water.
I need a little water…
Jimmy grew up so fast, then he met me at the pass one day,
Said, "You're a wanted man - Take your brother's hand -
I'd be runnin' with you anyway."
So we rode late in the night like the fires of the desert sand
Till one day the posse caught us 'cause the sherriff always gets his man.
Gimme some water!
'Cause I killed a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, cool water…
I need a little water…
Oh, Jeez, I just can't loose my hands!
I've run just as fast as my legs can!
But, Lord, I got no room to run!
Shouldn't a done what I did with that there gun!
Hey, hey, yeah!
Gimme some water!
'Cause I killed a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, cool water…
Can't you… see that long white rope
Hangin' from the hangman's tree?
Take the restless horse - tie my hands, of course -
Tell my mother that I'm finally free.
Let me die like a man no one understands -
Let me pray - Let a poor man pray!
Smack that horse in the ass.
With my last, dyin' gasp, my brother could hear me say,
"Gimme some water!"
'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, cool water…
Gimme some water.
Gimme some water!
'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, cool water…
Gimme some water!
Gimme some water!
'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, cool water…
Gimme some water!
Gimme some water!
'Cause I killed a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, sweet water…
Gimme some water!
