gimme some water

Eddie Money

Mama never understood what itââ?¬â?¢s like for a losinââ?¬â?¢ man.
When her number-one son goes bad playinââ?¬â?¢ cards with the devilââ?¬â?¢s hand.
Boy, Daddy got real sick so quick ******* never understand.
I was the one who got good with the gun, took the money from the rich manââ?¬â?¢s hand.
Gimme some water!
ââ?¬Ë?Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, cool waterââ?¬¦
Gimme some water.
I need a little waterââ?¬¦
Jimmy grew up so fast, then he met me at the pass one day,
Said, ââ?¬Å?Youââ?¬â?¢re a wanted man ââ?¬â?? Take your brotherââ?¬â?¢s hand ââ?¬â??
Iââ?¬â?¢d be runninââ?¬â?¢ with you anyway.ââ?¬
So we rode late in the night like the fires of the desert sand
Till one day the posse caught us ââ?¬Ë?cause the sherriff always gets his man.
Gimme some water!
ââ?¬Ë?Cause I killed a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, cool waterââ?¬¦
I need a little waterââ?¬¦
Oh, Jeez, I just canââ?¬â?¢t loose my hands!
Iââ?¬â?¢ve run just as fast as my legs can!
But, Lord, I got no room to run!
Shouldnââ?¬â?¢t a done what I did with that there gun!

Hey, hey, yeah!

Gimme some water!
ââ?¬Ë?Cause I killed a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, cool waterââ?¬¦
Canââ?¬â?¢t youââ?¬¦ see that long white rope
Hanginââ?¬â?¢ from the hangmanââ?¬â?¢s tree?
Take the restless horse ââ?¬â?? tie my hands, of course -
Tell my mother that Iââ?¬â?¢m finally free.
Let me die like a man no one understands ââ?¬â??
Let me pray ââ?¬â?? Let a poor man pray!
Smack that horse in the ass.
With my last, dyinââ?¬â?¢ gasp, my brother could hear me say,
ââ?¬Å?Gimme some water!ââ?¬
ââ?¬Ë?Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, cool waterââ?¬¦
Gimme some water.
Gimme some water!
ââ?¬Ë?Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, cool waterââ?¬¦
Gimme some water!
Gimme some water!
ââ?¬Ë?Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, cool waterââ?¬¦
Gimme some water!
Gimme some water!
ââ?¬Ë?Cause I killed a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, sweet waterââ?¬¦
Gimme some water!
