Verse 2

Well, my horse's eyes are glassy

He breathed the city in his lungs last night

I lead his natural body

To the trough to regain his might

Red rooster crow them blues here

That Old Blue he round the bull

And the mornin's crying rays of sunrise

It hasn't rained for three weeks full

(Chorus)

(Solo)

Verse 3

Venus light is rising

I lay my buckets inside the shed

And there's a man I see - a stranger

Leaning on the gate outside my fence

Said "I'm riding out from the city

Where they started holding water back last night

I was hoping I could get a drink from your well

Before I ride on to another city tonight"

Before I ride on to another city tonight

Before I ride on to another city tonight

EChilly Dwell, E chilly Dwell, chilly Ewater D A

Cool well, chilly well water

Before I ride on
