Lyrics Water Boy - John Lee Hooker

Water boy, ah, bring your water round, ah
Shackles on my feet, ah, these chains hurtin' my leg, ah
Water boy, ah, water boy, ah
Bring your water around, they got me chained down

And this old prisoner, I don't care
I don't see my baby no more, ah, she done called, ah
I'm in the shade, ah, water boy, ah
Water boy, ah, bring your water round, ah

Ah, oh, ah, water boy, ah
The sun is beamin' down, ah
They feed me slop all day long, ah
Ah, water boy, water boy, ah

My legs are gettin' weak, the shackles on my feet, ah
Water boy, they got the old shotgun, ah, ah
The pistols too, ah, they all around me
Shackles on my feet, ah

Ah, water boy, ah, bring me some water, ah
Sun a-beamin', ah, down on me, hmm, in this old prisoner
In this old prisoner, ah, ah, ah
Shackles on my feet, chains around my leg
The chains are hurtin' my leg, ah, ah
