Cool Drink of Water Blues by Tommy Johnson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I asked for water, and she gave me gasoline
I asked for water, she gave me gasoline
I asked for water and she gave me gasoline
Lord, Lordy, Lord

[Verse 2]
Crying, Lord, I wonder will I ever get back home
Crying, Lord, I wonder will I ever get back home
Lord, Lordy, Lord

[Verse 3]
I went to the depot, looked up on the board
I looked all over, "How long has this east bound train been gone?
Lord, Lordy, Lord

[Verse 4]
Lord, I asked the conductor, "Could I ride these blinds?"
[Want to know, can a broke man ride the blinds]
"Son, buy your ticket, buy your ticket, 'cause this train ain't none of mine"
[Verse 5]
"Son, buy your ticket, train ain't none of mine"
"Son, buy your ticket, 'cause this train ain't none of mine"
"Train ain't none of mine"
Lord, Lordy, Lord
