And It Stoned Me	-	Van Morrison

Half a mile from the county fair
And the rain came pourin' down
Me and Billy standin' there
With a silver half a crown
Hands are full of a 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 goin' home
And it stoned me.

Then the rain let up
And the sun came up
And we were gettin' dry
Almost glad a pick-up truck
Nearly passed 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.
And it stoned me to my soul...etc.

On the way back home
We sang a song
But our throats were gettin' 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, two
One for me and you
And he said, "Hey ! there you are!"
On the water, oh the water, oh the water
Get it myself from the mountain stream.
And it stoned me to my soul...etc...
