"I only carry the water...
Nobody let's me swim..."
1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8
I only carry the water
Nobody let's me swim
(Carry the water)
I only carry the water
Nobody let's me swim
(Carry the water)
My well's gone dry
Nobody let's me in
(Carry the water)
'Cause I'm an old slave trader
And I'm a-knockin' at your door
I'm an old slave trader
Knockin' at your door
Judas was a salesman
But he ain't comin' up no more...a-ha
Jesus Christ!
Geronimo stood...
Right outside the window
Holy Mary!
Statue twins
Stood outside the doorway
If you go my way
Then I'll go yours
But nobody's gonna go my way
Cause I'm a-carrying the water
Nobody let's me swim
(Carry the water)
Nobody let's me in
(Carry the water)
1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8
Yodolay-hee
Yodolay-hee-hee
Yodolay-hee-hee-hee
I only carry the water
But nobody let's me swim
(Carry the water)
I only carry the water
Nobody let's me swim
(Carry the water)
My well's gone dry
Nobody let's me in
(Carry the water)
'Cause I'm an old slave trader
My well's gonna run dry
Carrying the water
Nobody let's me swim
(Carry the water)
My well's gone dry
Nobody let's me in
(Carry the water)
Carrying the water
Carrying the water
Carrying the water
Carrying the water
I'm a-carry-ing the water
But there's nobody...no-baaaaahhh!
Carrying the water
Carrying the water
