[Verse 1]
I asked him for water, gave me gasoline
I asked him for water, gave me gasoline
I asked him for water but he gave me gasoline

[Verse 2]
I went down to the depot, looked up on the board
I went down to the depot, looked up on the board
Saw that train a-runnin' but I could not get on board

[Verse 3]
I asked the conductor, can I ride the blinds?
I asked the conductor, can I ride the blinds?
Said, "Girl, buy your ticket, buy your ticket
'Cause this train ain't none of mine"

[Verse 1]
Well I asked him for water, gave me gasoline
I asked him for water, gave me gasoline
I asked him for water, but he gave me gasoline
