作词 : Cash
In the desert where we searched for gold
The days're hot the nights're cold
Hank and Joe and me walked on
So bold and brave and free
For days and days we fought the heat
I got so thirsty and
I got so weak
And when I fell 'cause
I couldn't go
I heard Hank say to
JoeHe's dyin'(Dyin' dyin')
For waterHear him cryin'(Cryin' cryin')
For waterWell lay him down in the dust and sand he said
Joe you know he's a dyin' man
Leave him there and let him die
I can't stand to hear him cry for water
I don't remember how long
I layBut when
I awoke it was the break of day
Buzzards circled miles ahead
I knew Hank and
Joe were dead
My eyes were dimmed but
I could see
A bed of gold nuggets under me
Now I know that it won't be long
Till they decorate my bones'
Cause I'm dyin'(Dyin' dyin')
For waterCan't help cryin'(Cryin' cryin')
For waterWell they laid me down in the dust and sand he said
Joe you know he's a dyin' man
Leave him there and let him die
I can't stand to hear him cry for water
He couldn't stand to hear me cry for water
