Hank And Joe And Me

In the desert where we searched for gold the days're hot the nights're coldHank and Joe and me walked on so bold and brave and freeFor days and days we fought the heat I got so thirsty and I got so weakAnd when I fell cause I couldn't go I heard Hank say to JoeHe's dyin' (dyin' dyin') for water hear him cryin' (cryin' cryin') for waterWell lay him down in the dust and sand he said Joe you know he's a dyin' manLeave him there and let him die I can't stand to hear him cry for waterI don't remember how long I lay but when I awoke it was the break of dayBuzzards circled miles ahead I knew Hank and Joe were deadMy eyes were dimmed but I could see a bed of gold nuggets under meNow I know that it won't be long till they decorate my bonesCause I'm dyin' (dyin' dyin') for water can't help cryin' (cryin' cryin') for waterWell they laid me down in the dust and sand he said Joe you know he's a dyin' manLeave him there and let him die I can't stand to hear him cry for waterHe couldn't stand to hear me cry for water
