Van Morrison — And It Stoned Me lyrics

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
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 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.»
