Lyrics for Cool Drink Of Water Blues

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"
