Track 19 of 30 on the album "Ain't the Reaping Ever Done? (1962-1976)" (2015) [Intro] B7 A B7 E E [Verse 1]
        E
Well, I stopped in the heart of deep east Texas

                              B7
And an old man told me with a wink

          E                       A
That if I ever took a sip of that east Texas water

    B7                       E
I'd come back to get another drink
[Chorus 1]
N.C.                         B7
Well, he warned me 'bout the water

                        E
But never mentioned his daughter

                        B7
And while that water is fine

            A                        B7      E
It's not as sweet as that east Texas baby of mine
[Verse 2]
          E
Well, the water in east Texas runs cold and deep

                                         B7
And when you drink it, you acting like a clown

    E                    A
But East Texas women are warm and sweet

              B7                        E
And they quit running when the sun goes down
[Chorus 2]
N.C.                          B7
That's why my heart starts to quiver

                  E
Near the Angelina River

                      B7
On that river's white sand

A                              B7          E
That's where a woman makes you feel like a man
[Chorus 3]
                    B7
And you know what I think?

                        E
I've got to get another drink

                   B7
Of that east Texas water

              A                      B7        E
And while I'm there, I'll marry that old man's daughter
[Outro Chorus]
                    B7
And you know what I think?

                        E
I've got to get another drink

                      B7
Yeah, you know what I think?

                        E
I've got to get another drink...
