Oh~ the water... Oh, the water Em D Let it rain all over me G C C G And it stoned me to my soul G D C G Stoned me just like jelly roll, and it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home, and it stoned me... Well the rain let up and the sun came out, and we were getting' dry Almost hit a pick-up truck, nearly passed us by So we jumped right in, gave the driver a grin, and he dropped us up the road Then we saw the swim and we jumped right in, not to mention fishin' poles Oh, the water... Oh~ the water... Oh, the water Let it rain all day And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like jelly roll, and it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home, and it stoned me... On the way back home we sang a song, and our throats were getting dry Then we saw the man from across the road with the sunshine in his eye Well, he lived all alone in his own little home with a great big gallon jar He had bottles, too, one for me and you, and he said, "Hey, there you are" Oh, the water... Oh~ the water... Oh, the water Get it myself from the mountain stream And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like jelly roll, and it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home, and it stoned me... And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like jelly roll, and it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home, and it stoned me... -Van Morrison
