Oh, I asked him for water, he gave me gasoline Oh, I asked him for water, he gave me gasoline I asked him for water, he gave me gasoline I went down to the depot looked up on the board I went down to the depot looked up on the board Saw that train a running but I could not get on board I asked the conductor can I ride the blinds I asked the conductor can I ride the blinds Said girl buy your ticket buy your ticket Cause this train ain't none of mine
Oh, I asked him for water, he gave me gasoline Oh, I asked him for water, he gave me gasoline I asked him for water, he gave me gasoline
