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, "Good-bye"

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
