Water for My Horses Lyrics

As he lay dying, he said I hate you
And I hope your soul goes straight to hell
If you think it's justice, you'll hang for murder
To what degree, I'll never tell
Need water for my horses is all I'm asking
You can tell the law, which way I go
All of my dreams, are only wind songs
Through the trees that seldom blow
Well I don't mind dying
Had my share of living, and I played it straight, when I knew the rules
he said he loved me, and I believed him
Now I'm all alone, the original fool
If you see Jesus, tell him I'm sorry
For I did not know what I had done
Like a dirty dog, I was drunk on whiskey
And I killed a man, just to have a little fun
