High and dry in the long hot day
Lost and lonely in every way
Got the flats all around me sky up above
Yes I need a little water of love

I've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain
Crying out for some soothing rain
I believe I've taken enough
Yes I need a little water of love

Water of love deep in the ground
But there ain't no water here to be found
Someday baby when the river runs free
It'll carry that water of love to me

[ guitar ]
Once I had a man I could call my own
Once I had a man now my man is gone
Once there was a river now there's a stone
You know it's evil when you're living alone

Water of love deep in the ground...
Water of love deep in the ground...
Water of love deep in the ground...
Water of love deep in the ground...
