Then the rain let up and the sun came up

And we were gettin' dry

Almost let a pick-up truck

nearly pass us by
G D
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

G D
On the way back home we sang a song
C G
But our throats were getting dry
G D
Then we saw the man from across the road
C G
With the sunshine in his eyes
G D
Well he lived all alone in his own little home
C G
With a great big gallon jar
G D
There were bottles too, one for me and you
C G
And he said Hey! There you are
Am D
Oh, the water

Get it myself from the mountain stream
