[Verse 1]
Half a mile from the county fair
And the rain came pourin' down
Me and Billy standing there
With a silver half a crown
So we pulled our fishing rods
And the tackle on our back
We just stood there gettin' wet
With our backs against the fence

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
I 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 going home
And it stoned me

[Verse 2]
The rain let up and the sun came out
And we were gettin' dry
Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by
Jumped right in, gave the driver a grin
And he dropped us up the road
We looked at the swim and we jumped right in
Not to mention fishing poles
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Let it run all over me

[Chorus]
It stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
It stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like going home
And it stoned me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Sun came out...
With the sunshine in his eyes
Well, he lived all alone in his own little home
With a great big gallon jar
There was bottles too, one for me and you
And he said, "Hey! There you are"

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Get it myself from the mountain stream
[Chorus]
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 going home
And it stoned me

[Outro]
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 going home
And it stoned me
