Mamma never understood what it’s like for a losing man                                             I remember when sun goes back play cards with the devils hand                                                  But daddy got me sick so quick for the rules I’ll never understand                                         I was the one that got good with the gun   Took the money from the rich man’s hand                              Gimme some water Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border                                      Cool cool water gimme some water             water                                  Jimmy grew up so fast he met me at the pass one day Said you’re a wanted man take your brother’s hand I’ll come running with you anyway So we rode late in the night like the fires on the deserts sand So one day the posse got us cause the sheriff always gets his man Gimme some water Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border Cool cool water I need a little water If I’d just get loose my hand I’d run just as fast as my legs can But Lord I got no room to run I shouldn’t a done what I did with that there gun Gimme some water Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border Cool cool water gimme some water             Can’t you see that long white rope hangin from the hangman’s tree                                  Take the restless horse tie my hands of course tell my mamma I’m                                               finally free                                                                                               Let me die like a man no one understands Let me pray that I’m home & grey                                                                 Smack that horse in the ass with my last dying gasp                                            My brother could hear me say                                                        Repeat 3 Times Gimme some water Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border Cool cool water gimme some water
