Half a mile from the county
fair
And the rain came pourin'
down
Me and Billy standin' there
With a silver half a crown
Hands are full of a fishin'
rod
And the tackle on our backs
We just stood there gettin'
wet
With our backs against the fence
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Hope it don't rain all day
[Chorus:]
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly
Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin'
home
And it stoned me
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
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
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Let it run all over me
[Chorus]
On the way back home we sang
a song
But our throats were getting
dry
Then we saw the man from
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
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Get it myself from the
mountain stream
[Chorus]
And It Stoned Me, Van Morrison
It rained today on the Hill. And it stoned me to my soul.
