LYRICS

Hank and Joe and Me Well, in the desert where we searched for gold, the days are hot, the nights are cold. Hank and Joe and me walked on, so bold and brave and free. For days and days we fought the heat, I got so thirsty and I got so weak. And when I fell ?cause I couldn't go, I heard Hank say to Joe: ?He's dyin' for water, Hear him cryin' for water.? ?Well lay him down in the dust and sand. He said: ?Joe, you know he's a dyin' man. Leave him be and let him die, I can't stand to hear him cry for water.? I don't remember how long I lay, but when I awoke it was the break of day. Buzzards circled miles ahead; I knew Hank and Joe were dead. My eyes were dimmed, but I could see a bed of gold nuggets under me. Now I know that it won't be long till they decorate my bones. Cause I'm dyin' for water, Can't help cryin' for water. Well, they laid me down in the dust and sand. He said: ?Joe you know he's a dyin' man. Leave him be and let him die, I can't stand to hear him cry for water.? He couldn't stand to hear me cry for water.
