[Verse]

             
Half a mile fr

             
om the county 

              
fair, and the 

             
rain came pour

    
ing down
            
Me and Billy s

              
tanding there 

             
with a silver 

       
half a crown
             
Hands are full

             
 of fishing ro

             
ds, and the ta

            
ckle on our ba

cks
             
We just stood 

             
there getting 

              
wet, with our 

             
backs against 

    
the fence


[Pre-Chorus]

       
Oh, the water
      
Oh, the water
           
Oh, the water

   
              
Hope it don't 

              
rain all day


[Chorus]

             
And it stoned 

              
me to my soul
             
Stoned me just

      
 like Jelly Ro

ll
            
And it stoned 


me
             
And it stoned

Stoned me just

      
 like going ho

me
            
And it stoned

And the rain l

              
et up, and the

             
 sun came up, 

             
and we were ge

       
tting dry
             
  Almost let a

             
 pickup truck 

             
nearly pass us

  
 by
             
So we jumped r

              
ight in and th

  
e driver grinn

ed
             
And he dropped

           
 us up the roa

d
             
And we looked 

              
at the swim, a

      
nd we jumped r

ight in
             
Not to mention

         
 fishing poles


[Pre-Chorus]

      
Oh, the water
       
Oh, the water
           
Oh, the water

  
              
Let it run all

          
 over me


[Chorus]

             
And it stoned 

              
me to my soul
             
Stoned me just

And it stoned
