Give Me Some Water lyrics

Mama never understood what 
it's like for a losing man
When her number one son goes bad 
playing cards with the Devil's Hand
Daddy got real sick so quick 
four walls never understand
I was the one who got good with the gun 
took the money from the rich man's land

Give me some water 
'cause I shot a man 
on the Mexican border
Cool cool water
Give me some water
I need a little water

Jimmy grew up so fast and he 
met me at the pass one day
Said "You're a wanted man 
take your brother's hand 
I'll be running with you anyway"
So we rode late in the night 
like fires on the desert sand
Till one day the posse caught us 
cause the sheriff always gets his man

Give me some water 
'cause I killed a man 
on the Mexican border
Cool cool water
I need a little water

Oh geeze if I just get loose my hands
I'd run just as fast as my legs can
But Lord I've got no room to run
Shouldn't have done what 
I did without that gun

Give me some water 
'cause I killed a man 
on the Mexican border
Cool cool water

Guess you see that long white rope 
hanging from the hangman's tree
Take the restless horse 
tie may hands of course 
tell my mother that I'm finally free
Let me die like a man 
no one understands 
let me pray that a poor man pray
Slap that horse in the ass 
with my last dying gasp my 
brother could hear me say

Give me some water 
'cause I shot a man 
on the Mexican border
Cool cool water
Give me some water
