Van Morrison — And It Stoned Me

[Verse 1] Half a mile from the county fair And the rain came pourin' down Me and Billy standin' there With a silver half a crown Hands are full of a fishin' rod And the tackle on our backs We just stood there gettin' wet With our backs against the fence [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Hope it don't rain all day [Chorus] And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like Jelly Roll And it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home And it stoned me [Verse 2] And the rain let up And the sun came up And we were gettin' dry Almost let a pick-up truck Nearly pass us by So we jumped right in And the driver grinned And he dropped us up the road And we looked at the swim And we jumped right in Not to mention fishing poles [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Let it run all over me [Chorus] And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like Jelly Roll And it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home And it stoned me [Instrumental] [Verse 3] On the way back home We sang a song But our throats were getting dry Then we saw the man From across the road With the sunshine in his eyes Well he lived all alone In his own little home With a great big gallon jar There were bottles too One for me and you And he said "Hey! There you are" [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Get it myself from the mountain stream [Chorus] And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like Jelly Roll And it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home And it stoned me Well it stoned me to my soul Stoned on me just like Jelly Roll And it stoned me Well it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home And it stoned me
