Water Boy by John Lee Hooker Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Water boy, how, bring your water round, how
Shackles on my feet, how, these chains hurtin' my leg
Water boy, how, water boy, how
Bring your water wrong, they got me chained down
And this old prisoner, I don’t care
I don't see my baby no more, ah, she done called, how
I'm in the shade, how, water boy, how
Water boy, how, bring your water round, how

[Verse 2]
How, oh, how, water boy, how
The sun is beamin’ down, how
They feed me slop all day long, how
How, water boy, water boy, how
My legs are gettin' weak, the shackles on my feet, how
Water boy, they got the old shotgun, how, how
The pistols too, how, they all around me
Shackles on my feet, how

[Verse 3]
How, water boy, how, bring me some water, how
Sun a-beamin', how, down on me, in this old prisoner
In this old prisoner, how, how, how
Shackles on my feet, chains around my leg
The chains are hurtin' my leg, how, how
