"Don't Drink the Water"
by Justin Townes Earle
[Intro]
E7
[Verse 1]
E7 Something got in the river, well they, they found the source E7 Just last evening they ain't heard no more A7 E7 I want some answers 'fore I'm leaving here today B7 A7 E7 Don't drink the water, boy, no matter what they say
[Verse 2]
E7 Oh, but the man on the stand ain't said nothing E7 And he keeps talking, oh just keeps talking A7 E7 Lord, won't you look at them guilty eyes B7 A7 E7 Don't drink the water, something just ain't right
[Verse 3]
E7 With these sons of bitches, well, it's always something E7 Land around us, it's all been poisoned A7 E7 No way to say it, we in a sorry state B7 A7 E7 Don't drink the water, boy, no it just ain't safe
[Verse 4]
E7 They started blasting and that, that brung the dust E7 They skinned the mountains, then come the floods A7 E7 Now nobody sleeps, nobody sleeps on a rainy night B7 A7 E7 Don't drink the water, boys, no don't believe their lies
[Verse 5]
E7 'Cause up and down this valley, every town you see E7 They're all dealing with the same damn thing A7 E7 Somebody tell me, where do we go from here? B7 A7 E7 Don't drink the water, no don't you dare

[Verse 6]
E7 Now folks gettin' sick, I'm talkin' women and children E7 Ask the man on the stand what he thinks killed 'em A7 E7 He'll say, act of God, oh, act of God B7 A7 E7 Say, don't drink the water, son, there's been an act of God
[Verse 7]
E7 So that man on the stand, well he's still talking E7 No one's listening but everybody's watching A7 E7 I swear he just might not make it home tonight B7 A7 E7 If I hear him say "Don't drink the water" just one more time B7 A7 E7 I said, don't drink the water, don't drink the water
