Water for My Horses

By Hoyt Axton rmofle at satx.rr.com 7/19/2005 C F C As he lay dying, he said I hate you C G And I hope your soul goes straight to hell C F C If you think it's justice, you'll hang for murder G C To what degree, I'll never tell C F C Need water for my horses is all I'm asking G You can tell the law, which way I go C F C All of my dreams, are only wind songs G C Through the trees that seldom blow Well I don't mind dying Had my share of living, and I played it straight, when I knew the rules he said he loved me, and I believed him Now I'm all alone, the original fool Chorus If you see Jesus, tell him I'm sorry For I did not know what I had done Like a dirty dog, I was drunk on whiskey And I killed a man, just to have a little fun Chorus
