Widespread Panic - Chilly Water Lyrics
Transcribed by: Brian Whitman The Original Lyrics File Richard Stern In the easy chair with my boots onA melted whiskey in my handsI couldn't been asleep for more than 3 hoursTime to go to work againOnce more I beat the sunriseAnd there's a dark breeze up my doorRaise the water from the well up to my faceHow could a man like me be poor?As long as there's waterChilly wet waterGimme some of that cool, cool waterWell, my horse's eyes are glassyHe breathed the city in his lungs last nightI lead his natural bodyTo the trough to regain his mightRed rooster crow them blues hereThat Old Blue he round the bullAnd the morn's crying to raise the sunriseIt hasn't rained for three weeks fullAs long as there's waterChilly wet waterGimme some of that cool, cool waterVenus light is risingI lay my buckets inside the shedAnd there's a man I see - a strangerLeaning on the gate outside my fenceSaid "I'm riding out from the cityWhere I was starting for the water back last nightI was hoping to get a drink from your wellBefore I ride on to another city tonight (x3)"Chilly wet, chilly wet, chilly waterCool, cool, water...Before I ride on
