G                             D

Half a mile from the county fair

             C                              G
And the rain keep pourin' down

G                   D
Me and Billy standin' there

            C                G
With a silver half a crown

G                           D
Hands are full of a fishin' rod

             C                        G
And the tackle on our backs

G                             D
We just stood there gettin' wet

               C                              G
With our backs against the fence

Am         D

Oh, the water

Am         D
Oh, the water

Am         D     
Oh, the water

Em (1)                               
   Hope it don't rain all day

D (1)

               G                         D

Then the rain let up and the sun came up

        C                        G
And we were gettin' dry

G                 D             
Almost let a pick-up truck

 C                      G

nearly pass us by

           G                                  D
So we jumped right in and the driver grinned

              C                             G
And he dropped us up the road

       G                                    D
We looked at the swim and we jumped right in

            C                           G
Not to mention fishing poles

Am         D

Oh, the water

Am         D
Oh, the water

Am         D      Em (1) 
Oh, the water

                              D  (1) 
Let it run all over me

 

Chorus

 

             G                          D

On the way back home we sang a song

                C                            G
But our throats were getting dry

              G                           D
Then we saw the man from across the road

               C                        G
With the sunshine in his eyes

            G                           D
Well he lived all alone in his own little home

              C                     G
With a great big gallon jar

          G                                  D
There were bottles too, one for me and you

                   C                        G
And he said Hey! There you are

Am         D

Oh, the water

Am         D
Oh, the water

Am         D      Em (1) 
Oh, the water

                                                           D (1) 
Get it myself from the mountain stream
