Jailer, bring me water
Jailer, bring me water
Jailer, bring me water
My throat is kind-a dry
Well, I never had me no money
Never had me no money
Never had me no money
I ain't that kind-a guy
Oh, jailer, bring me water
Jailer, bring me water
Jailer, bring me water
My throat is kind-a dry
I'm gonna work 'til the good Lord calls me
Be workin' 'til the good Lord calls me
I'm gonna work until the good Lord calls me
It'll be in the by and by
Oh, jailer, bring me water
Jailer, bring me water
Jailer, bring me water
My throat is kind-a dry
Now, jailer, should ya see my baby
Jailer, if ya see my baby
Jailer, if ya see my baby
Just tell her I said, "Goodbye"
Everybody singin'
Jailer
Jailer, bring me water
Come on jailer, bring me
Jailer, bring me water
Come on jailer, bring me
Jailer, bring me water
Come on jailer, bring me
My throat is kind-a dry
Ah, jailer, won't ya bring me some
Bring me water
Jailer, won't ya bring me some
Bring me water
Jailer, won't ya bring me water
My throat is kind-a dry
