Jailer Bring Me Water Lyrics

Jailer, bring me water
Jailer, bring me water
Jailer, bring me water
My throat is kind-a dry.
Well, I never had me no money
Never had me no money
Never had me no money
I ain't that kind-a guy.

Oh, … jailer, bring me water
Jailer, bring me water
Jailer, bring me water
My throat is kind-a dry

I'm gonna work 'til the good Lord calls me
Be workin' 'til the good Lord calls me
I'm gonna work until the good Lord calls me
It'll be in the by and by.

Oh, … jailer, bring me water
Jailer, bring me water
Jailer, bring me water
My throat is kind-a dry.

Now, … jailer, should ya see my baby
Jailer, if ya see my baby
Jailer, if ya see my baby
Just tell her I said, "Good-bye."

Everybody singin' ……….

Jailer, …
Jailer, bring me water
Come on … jailer, bring me …
Jailer, bring me water
Come on … jailer, bring me …
Jailer, bring me water
Come on … jailer, bring me …
My throat is kind-a dry.

Ah, … jailer, won't ya bring me some ...
Bring me water
Jailer, won't ya bring me some ...
Bring me water
Jailer, won't ya bring me water
My throat is kind-a dry.

Jailer, bring me water 
Jailer, bring me water 
Jailer, bring me water 
My throat is kind-a dry. 
Well, I never had me no money 
Never had me no money 
Never had me no money 
I ain't that kind-a guy.

Oh, … jailer, bring me water 
Jailer, bring me water 
Jailer, bring me water 
My throat is kind-a dry

I'm gonna work 'til the good Lord calls me 
Be workin' 'til the good Lord calls me 
I'm gonna work until the good Lord calls me 
It'll be in the by and by.

Oh, … jailer, bring me water 
Jailer, bring me water 
Jailer, bring me water 
My throat is kind-a dry.

Now, … jailer, should ya see my baby 
Jailer, if ya see my baby 
Jailer, if ya see my baby 
Just tell her I said, "Good-bye."

Everybody singin' ……….

Jailer, … 
Jailer, bring me water 
Come on … jailer, bring me … 
Jailer, bring me water 
Come on … jailer, bring me … 
Jailer, bring me water 
Come on … jailer, bring me … 
My throat is kind-a dry.

Ah, … jailer, won't ya bring me some ... 
Bring me water 
Jailer, won't ya bring me some ... 
Bring me water 
Jailer, won't ya bring me water 
My throat is kind-a dry.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
