[E]
[Em] [E] I was traveling west to Buckskin, [A] home away to a [E] cattle dog, [A] across a little cactus [E] desert,
[B] under a hot [E] blistering sun.
I was thirsty down to my toenails, [A] stopped to rest me on [E] a stump.
I tell you, I just couldn't believe it [B] when I saw that [E] water pump.
I took it to be a mirage at first, [A] little fool of a thirsty [E] man.
Then I saw a note stuck [B] in a baking powder [E] can.
This pump is old, the note began, [A] but she [E] works, so give her a try.
I put a new sucker washer [B] in her, you may find [E] the leather dry.
You've got [B] to prime the pump, you must [E] have faith and believe.
You've got [B] to give of yourself for [E] your willy to be seen.
Drink [A] all the water you [E] can hold, [G#] wash your face, do [A] your feet.
[E] Leave the bottle full for others, [A] make a [E] tiny desert me.
Yeah, you have to prime the pump, work [A] that handle like [E] there's a fire.
And under that rock you'll find some [B] water I left in a [E] bitter's jar.
Now there's just enough to prime it with, so don't you go drink it first.
You just pour it in, hump like [B] mad, buddy, you'll [E] quench your thirst.
[B] You've got to prime the pump, you [C#m] must have faith [E] and believe.
You've [B] got to give of yourself [A] for your willy [E] to be seen.
[A] Drink all the water [E] you can hold, wash [G#] your [C#m] face, do your feet.
[E] Leave the bottle full for others, make a [B] tiny desert [E] me.
Well I found that jar and I tell you, nothing was ever prettier to my eye.
And I was tempted strong to drink [B] it, because that pump [E] looked mighty dry.
But the note went on, have faith my friend, there's water down below.
You've got to give until you [B] get it, I'm the one who [E] ought to know.
So I poured in the jar and I started pumping, and I heard a beautiful sound of water bubbling and splashing [B] out of that [E] hole in the ground.
I took off my shoes and I drunk my fill [A] of that cool refreshing [E] treat.
I thanked the Lord, I thanked the pump, [B] and I thanked old [E] desert me.
You've got [B] to prime the pump, you must [C#m] have faith [E] and believe.
You've [B] got to give of yourself [E] for your willy to be seen.
Drink all the water you can hold, wash your [G#m] face, [C#m] do your feet.
