Water - Albert King, Pops Staples, Steve Cropper

I’m a dying man won’t you give me water

My baby took my love and left me on a desert

I feel the taste of salt and I gotta have air to breathe

That girl she stole my heart and left me in misery

Somebody, somebody will give me water

Why don’t you give me water, well

I’m just a simple man and I’m not used to losing love

Somebody help me off this desert, won’t you give me water

Now I’ve heard a many tales about a lonely grounded man

And about him all along you know I’m, I’m living a life that’s not the same

Somebody, somebody will give me water

Why don’t you just give me water, and I want you, tell them Albert

Just a thought of her you know it drives me all up inside

And I’m numb with pain because I only have tears to taste

The man is all messed up, won’t you give me water, water

And I don’t know how I can make it, I just can’t make a gopher

Somebody, somebody will give me water

Why don’t you just give me water and I want you

Water, water, I need some water, hey, water

Need some water, give me water Albert, hey, hey
