Half a mile from the county fair |
|
And the rain keep pourin' down |
|
Me and Billy standin' there |
|
With a silver half a crown |
|
Hands full of a fishin' rod |
|
|
And the tackle on our backs |
|
We just stood there gettin' wet |
|
With our backs against the fence |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hope it don't rain all day |
|
|
And it stoned me to my soul |
|
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll |
|
|
And it stoned me to my soul |
|
Stoned me just like goin' home |
|
|
|
|
Then the rain let up and the sun came up |
|
|
Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by |
|
So we jumped right in and the driver grinned |
|
And he dropped us up the road |
|
We looked at the swim and we jumped right in |
|
Not to mention fishing poles |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hope it don't rain all day |
|
|
And it stoned me to my soul |
|
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll |
|
|
And it stoned me to my soul |
|
Stoned me just like goin' home |
|
|
|
|
On the way back home we sang a song |
|
But our throats were getting dry |
|
Then we saw the man across the road |
|
With the sunshine in his eyes |
|
Well he lived all alone in his own little home |
|
With a great big gallon jar |
|
There were bottles too, one for me and you |
|
And he said Hey! There you are |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Get it myself from the mountain stream |
|
|
And it stoned me to my soul |
|
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll |
|
|
And it stoned me to my soul |
|
Stoned me just like goin' home |
|
