Mama never understood what it's like for a losing man
When her number one son goes bad playing cards with the Devil's Hand.
Daddy got real sick so quick.
Four walls never understand
I was the one who got good with the gun,
Took money from the rich man's land.

Gimme some water,
'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, cool water.
Gimme some water.
I need a little water.

Jimmy grew up so fast and he met me at the pass one day.
Said, "You're a wanted man.  Take your brother's hand.
I'll be running with you anyway."
So we rode late in the night like fires in the desert sand
Till one day the posse caught us,
'Cause the sheriff always gets his man.

Gimme some water,
'Cause I killed a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, cool water.
I need some water.

Oh geeze, if I just get loose my hands,
I'd run just as fast as my legs can,
But Lord, I've got no room to run.
Shouldn't have done what I did without that gun.

Gimme some water,
'Cause I killed a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, cool water.

Can't you see that long white rope hanging from the hangman's tree.
Take the restless horse, tie many hands, of course.
Tell my mother that I'm finally free.
Let me die like a man, no one understands.
Let me pray that a poor man pray.
Smack that horse in the ass.
With my last dying gasp, my brother could hear me say

Gimme some water,
'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, cool water.
Gimme some water.
Gimme some water,
'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, cool water.
Gimme some water.
Gimme some water,
'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, cool water.
Gimme some water.
Gimme some water,
'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border.
Cool, sweet water.
Gimme some water.
