High and dry in the long hot day Lost and lonely in every way Got the flats all around me sky up above I need a little water of love Ive been too long lonely and my heart feels pain Crying out for some soothing rain I believe I have taken enough I need a little water of love Water of love deep in the ground No water here to be found Some day baby when the river runs free Itll carry that water of love to me Theres a bird up in a tree sitting up high Waiting for me to die If I dont get some water soon Ill be dead and gone in the afternoon Once I had a woman I could call my own Once I had a woman now my woman is gone Once there was a river now theres a stone You know its evil when youre living alone
