Tommy Johnson - Cool Drink of Water Blues lyrics

Version 1 I asked her for water, and she gave me gasoline Man, that's the evilest woman, that I ever seen Cryin' Lawd, now mama, will I ever get back home? Lawd, Lawdy Lawd I went to the depot, looked up on the board I looked all over, "How long has this eastbound train been gone?" "It's done taken your faror, blowed its smoke on you" Lawd, Lawdy, Lawd I asked the conductor, "Can I ride the blinds?" (Want to know, can a broke man ride the blinds?) "Son, buy your ticket, this train ain't none of mine" Version 2 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 Crying, Lord, I wonder will I ever get back home Crying, Lord, I wonder will I ever get back home Lord, Lordy, Lord 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 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" "Son, buy your ticket, train ain't none of mine" "Son, buy your ticket, 'cause this train ain't none of mine" Lord, Lordy, Lord "Train ain't none of mine"
