Johnny Cash - Have A Drink Of Water lyrics

In the long, hot
Thirsty summer of about 32 AD
Along a dusty highway
There came a man of Galilee
And as he went through Samaria
He stopped at Jacob's well
And there he met a woman whose
Deep secrets he would tell

"Could I have a drink of water?"
Soft and quietly asked he
And she said, "Sir, I'm Samaritan
How dare you speak to me?" he said
"If you would ask of me
Than either son of man
Would give you living water and
You'd never thirst again'

Have a drink of water
Everlastin' livin' water
Have a drink of water
Everlastin' livin' water
Dip in' to the endless well
Pour it on the fires of hell
Have a drink and sing and shout as
The flames of hell go out
Have a drink of water, everlastin'
Endless water then the woman said, "Sir
You have no way to draw out of this well
Our father Jacob dug it and
The stories it could tell
From this well drank his children and
His kettle by the score
Where is your well, Sir, tell me
That will flow forever more"

And he answered and said
"Unto her your water will go dry
And my well is everlastin'
If you drink you'll never die€
My father God's a spirit and
He set me under men
To give you living water so
You'll never thirst again

Have a drink of water
Everlastin' livin' water
Have a drink of water
Everlastin' livin' water
Dip in' to the endless well
Pour it on the fires of hell
Have a drink and sing and shout as
The flames of hell go out
Have a drink of water
Everlastin' livin' water

Well, there now are many thirstin'
In this modern century
Whose thirst could be quenched quickly
By the man from Galilee
For the water flows eternal from
The well that never dries
For it flows right out of Heaven
Where the soul never dies

So if you're hot and tired and thirstin'
And if you crave a cool, tall drink
He will pour it right out for you
A lot quicker than you think
He already knows you're thirsty so just
Let him come on in
And he'll give you livin' water
And you'll never thirst again

Have a drink of water
Everlastin' livin' water
Have a drink of water
Everlastin' livin' water
Dip in' to the endless well
Pour it on the fires of hell
Have a drink and sing and shout as
The flames of hell go out
Have a drink of water
Everlastin' livin' water

Have a drink of water
Everlastin' livin' water, bro
Have a drink of water, ever last
Clap your hands and sing and shout
