It Stoned Me
Van Morrison/Moondance album

     Half a mile from the county fair
     And the rain keep pourin' down
     Me and Billy standin' there
     With a silver half a crown
     Hands are full of a fishin' rod
     And the tackle on our backs
     We just stood there gettin' wet
     With our backs against the fence 

     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 Roll
     And it stoned me
     And it stoned me to my soul
     Stoned me just like goin' home
     And it stoned me 

     Then the rain let up and the sun came up
     And we were gettin' dry
     Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass 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 

     Oh, the water
     Oh, the water
     Oh, the water
     Let it run all over me 

     Chorus

     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 

     Oh, the water
     Oh, the water
     Oh, the water
     Get it myself from the mountain stream 

     Chorus
