Harry Belafonte - Water Boy - Odetta

Water boy

Where are you hiding?

If you don't come right here

Gonna tell your pa on you



There ain't no hammer

On this mountain

That ring like mine, boy

That ring like mine



I'm gonna whoop this rock, boy

From here to the Macon

All the way to the jail, boy

All the way to the jail



You jack 'o diamond

Jack 'o diamond

Know you're

I know you are of old



You don't rob my pockets

Rob my pockets

Silver and gold, boy

Of silver and gold



Water boy

Where are you hiding?

If you don't come right here

Gonna tell your pa on you



There ain't no hammer

On this mountain

That ring like mine, boy

Ring like mine



Bust this rock, boy

From here to the Macon

All the way to the jail, boy

All the way to the jail



Water boy

Where are you hiding?

If you don't come right here

Gonna tell your pa on you
