Johnny Cash - Hank and joe and me

^CIn the desert where ^G7we searched for gold ^FThe days were hot ^G7the nights were cold

^FHank and Joe and ^AmMe walked on ^G7So bold and brave and ^Cfree

For days and days we ^G7fought the heat ^FI got so thirsty and I ^G7got so weak

^FAnd when I fell cause ^AmI couldn’t go ^G7I heard Hank say to ^CJoe

He’s ^G7dieing for ^Cwater hear him ^G7crying for ^Cwater Well lay him down in the ^Amdust and sand

He said ^CJoe you know he’s a ^Amdieing man ^CLeave him there and ^Amlet him die

^CI can’t stand to ^G7hear him cry for ^Cwater

I don’t remember how l^G7ong I lay ^FBut when I woke it was the ^G7break of day

^FBuzzards circled ^Ammiles ahead I knew ^G7Hank and Joe were ^Cdead

My eyes were dim but ^G7I could see ^FA bed of gold nuggets ^G7under me

^FNow I know that it ^Amwon’t be long Till they ^G7decorate my ^Cbones

Cause I’m ^G7dieing for ^Cwater can’t help ^G7crying for ^Cwater They said lay him down in the ^Amdust and sand

He said ^CJoe you know he’s a ^Amdieing man ^CLeave him there and ^Amlet him die

^CI can’t stand to ^G7hear him cry for ^Cwater He couldn’t stand to ^G7hear me cry for ^Cwater
