Half a mile from the county fair
C

And the rain keep pourin’ down
D
Me and Billy standin’ there
C
G
With a silver half a crown
D
Hands full of a fishin’ rod
C

And the tackle on our backs
D
We just stood there gettin’ wet

With our backs against the fence

Then the rain let up and the sun came up
C

And we were gettin’ dry
D
C
G
Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by
G

So we jumped right in and the driver grinned
C

And he dropped us up the road
D
We looked at the swim and we jumped right in
C

Not to mention fishing poles

On the way back home we sang a song
C
G
But our throats were getting dry
D
Then we saw the man across the road
C
G
With the sunshine in his eyes
D
Well he lived all alone in his own little home
C
G
With a great big gallon jar
D
There were bottles too, one for me and you
C
G
And he said Hey! There you are

Oh, the water

Get it myself from the mountain stream
