Tilde - Mickey Newbury

Bring me a little water Tilde

Bring me a little water now

Bring me a little water Tilde

I am so cotton dry

I am out in this cotton field Tilde

Sun up to sun down

Put that cotton in a ten foot sack

Till I am six feet in the ground

Tilde

Bring me water Tilde

Bring me a little water now Tilde

Bring me little water Tilde

Bring me little water Tilde

Oh I am hot and dry

Oh Tilde Tilde

I am so hot and dry

Tilde Oh Tilde

Times I wish I could lay down

Tilde you’re a breath of sunshine

Fresh as a lullaby

You could put a smile

On a face in a stone

Bring a tear to a dead man’s eye

Bring me water now Tilde

Give me water now

Bring me water Tilde

I am so hot

I am so hot

Bring me water now Tilde

Bring me water now Tilde

Bring me water now Tilde

Bring me water now Tilde

Oh Tilde came to see that mountain

There is a river on the other side

No trouble and no care

Would be waitin' for me there

It is just beyond the sky

Bring me water now Tilde

Bring me water now Tilde

Bring me water now Tilde

Bring me water now Tilde

Bring me water now Tilde

Tilde I am so hot and dry

I wish I could lay right down

I wish I could lay right down

I wish I could lay right down and die
