swing the bucket and walk the miles
everyone's waiting for the water
everyone in town has got a plan for thee
i'm warning you ahead of time
i swear that i have no intentions
but they're all waiting with vultures eyes for thee
swing the bucket and swing it free
swing it however you please
but when you swing into town consider this: if i am as thirsty as anyone there and they are as thirsty as me i can see you don't bear enough water for even a prayer
