Jailer, Bring Me Water - Jackie DeShannon

Jailer, bring me water

Jailer, bring me water

Jailer, bring me water

My throat is kinda dry

Never had me no money

Never had me no money

Never had me no money

I didn’t understand why

I’m gonna work 'til the Good Lord call me

I’ll work 'til the Good Lord calls me

I’ll work 'til the Good Lord calls me

It’ll be in the by and by

Jailer, if you see my baby (Oh, jailer)

Jailer, if you see my baby (Now, jailer)

Jailer, if you see my baby (Oh, jailer)

Tell him I said goodbye

Whoa-oh, jailer, won’t you bring me water?

Jailer, now (Jailer, won’t you bring me water?) whoa, bring me water, now

Jailer, won’t you bring me water?

My throat is kinda dry

Jailer, won’t you bring me water?

Oh-ho, jailer, won’t you bring me water?

Oh-ho, jailer, won’t you bring me water?

My throat is kinda dry

Jailer (Jailer, won’t you bring me water?) Water, I’m beggin' you

(Jailer, won’t you bring me water?) On my knees I’m beggin' you

(Jailer, won’t you bring me water?) Jailer, bring me water

(My throat is kinda dry) My throat is kinda dry

Jailer, now, jailer won’t you bring me water?

Jailer, won’t you bring me water?

Jailer, won’t you bring me water?

My throat is kinda dry

Oh, jailer can’t you hear me?

(Jailer, won’t you bring me water?) Have mercy on me

(Jailer, won’t you bring me water?) Oh-ho, jailer, I can’t do anything

(Jailer, won’t you bring me water?) Oh-ho, jailer

(My throat is kinda dry) My throat is so dog-gone dry

Oh, jailer (Jailer, won’t you bring me water?)

Oh, jailer hey (Jailer, won’t you bring me water?)
