And It Stoned Me Songtext
von Marley’s Ghost

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 all full of fishing rod and the tackle on our back
We just stood there getting wet with our backs against the fence

Oh the water
Oh the water
Oh the water
I hope it don′t rain all day

And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll and it stoned me
Yes 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 getting dry
Almost glad a pickup truck nearly passed us by
So we jumped right in and the driver
Grinned and he dropped us up the road
Then we looked at the swim and we jumped
Right in at the mansion fishing hole


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
Yes 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
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
I'll get it myself from the mountain stream

And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll and it stoned me
Yes it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like going home and it stoned me
Stoned me just like going home and it stoned me
