And It Stoned Me (Cover) - Passenger

Half a mile from the county fair And the rain came pouring down Me and Billy standing there With a silver half a crown Hands are full of the fishing rod And the tackle on our backs We just stood there getting 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 And the rain let up, and the sun came up While we were getting dry Almost let a pickup truck nearly pass us by So we jumped right in and the driver grinned And he dropped us up the road And 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 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 On the way back home we sang a song But our throats were getting dry Then we saw the man from across the road With the sunshine in his eye Well, he lived all alone in his own little home With a great big gallon jar There were bottles too, one for me and you And he said, "Hey, there you are" Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Get it myself from the mountain stream 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 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

(Shel Silverstein) I was sitting in my basement I just rolled myself a taste Of something green and gold and glorious to get me through the day Then my friend yelled through the transom "Grab your coat and get your hat son There's a nut down on the corner, givin' dollar bills away" But I laid around a bit Then I had another hit Then I rolled myself a bauma Then I thought about my mama Then I fooled around, played around Jacked around a while and then I got stoned and I missed it I got stoned and I missed it I got stoned and it rolled right by I got stoned and I missed it I got stoned and I missed it I got stoned oh me oh my Now it took seven months of urging just to get that local virgin With the sweet face up to my place to fool around a bit Next day she woke up rosy and she snuggled up so cosy When she asked me how I liked it Lord it hurt me to admit I was stoned and I missed it I was stoned and I missed it I was stoned and it rolled right by I was stoned and I missed it I was stoned and I missed it I was stoned oh me oh my Now I ain't makin' no excuses for the many things I uses Just to sweeten my relationships and brighten up my day But when my earthly race is over and I'm ready for the clover And they ask me how my life has been I guess I'll have to say I was stoned and I missed it I was stoned and I missed it I was stoned and it rolled right by I was stoned and I missed it I was stoned and I missed it I was stoned oh me oh my (C)1975 Tro-Essex Music Ltd.
