HANK AND JOE AND ME   (Johnny Cash)   « © '59 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP / Song Of Cash Music, ASCAP »      In the desert where we searched for gold the days're hot the nights're cold   Hank and Joe and me walked on so bold and brave and free   For days and days we fought the heat I got so thirsty and I got so weak   And when I fell cause I couldn't go I heard Hank say to Joe   He's dyin' (dyin' dyin') for water hear him cryin' (cryin' cryin') for water   Well lay him down in the dust and sand he said Joe you know he's a dyin' man   Leave him there and let him die I can't stand to hear him cry for water   I don't remember how long I lay but when I awoke it was the break of day   Buzzards circled miles ahead I knew Hank and Joe were dead   My eyes were dimmed but I could see a bed of gold nuggets under me   Now I know that it won't be long till they decorate my bones   Cause I'm dyin' (dyin' dyin') for water can't help cryin' (cryin' cryin') for water   Well they laid me down in the dust and sand he said Joe you know he's a dyin' man   Leave him there and let him die I can't stand to hear him cry for water   He couldn't stand to hear me cry for water
