Minutemen, Black Flag - Fetch the Water lyrics

You are the oldest one my momma said to me
Go fetch some water son
We boil the potatoes in

Fetch the water fetch the water
Fetch the water fetch the water

My momma said to me on to the river son
For your brothers and sisters
We all is hungry

Fetch the water fetch the water
Fetch the water fetch the water

So I ran as fast as I could
All the way across the town

On my way back from the river
A wreck I'd not seen before
Knocked me down to the ground
Spilling all the water out

Fetch the water fetch the water
Fetch the water fetch the water

Once again I felt the bucket
And run back to my family
I arrive all out of breath
With all the water needed

Found out while I was gone
My momma done me wrong
She fried the potatoes
And now they're all gone

Fetch the water fetch the water
Fetch the water fetch the water

Fetch the water fetch the water
Fetch the water fetch the water

Fetch the water fetch the water
Fetch the water fetch the water

Fetch the water fetch the water
Fetch the water fetch the water

Fetch the water fetch the water
Fetch the water fetch the water
