Van Morrison And It Stoned Me Lyrics

Half a mile from the county fair

And the rain keep pourin' down

Me and Billy standin' there

With a silver half a crown

Hands are full of fishin' rod

And the tackle on our backs

We just stood there gettin' wet

With our backs against the fence



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 going home

And it stoned me



Then 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

We looked at the swim and we jumped right in

Not to mention fishing poles



Oh, the water

Oh, the water

Oh, the water

Let it run all over me



[Chorus]



On the way back home we sang a song

But our throats were getting dry

Then we saw the man from across the raod

With the sunshine in his eyes

Well he lived all alone in his own little home

With a great big gallon jar

There were bottle too, one for me and you

And he said, "Hey! There you are."



[Chorus]
