And It Stoned Me

Van Morrison

1. Half a mile from the county fair, and the rain came pouring down
   Hands full of fishing gear, and the tackle on our backs
   We just stood there getting wet, with our backs against the fence

R: Oh, the water
   Oh, the water
   Oh, the water
   Let it run all over me
   And it stoned me to my soul
   Stoned me just like jelly roll
   And it stoned me
   And it stoned me to my soul
   Stoned me just going home
   And it stoned me

2. And the rain let up, and the sun came out, we were getting dry
   Almost glad a pickup truck nearly passed us by
   So we jumped right in and the driver grinned and he dropped us up the road
   We looked at the swim, and we jumped right in not to mention fishing poles
   
R: Oh, the water...

3. On the way back home we sang a song, but our throats were getting dry
   Then we saw the man from across the road with the sunshine in his eyes
   Well he lived all alone in his own little home with a great big gallon jar
   There were bottles too, one for me and you, and he said "Hey there you are"

R: Oh, the water...
