I Asked for Water (She Gave Me Gasoline) Lyrics
Oh, I asked her for water, oh, she brought me gasoline
Oh, I asked her for water, oh, she brought me gasoline
That's the troublingest woman
That I ever seen
Oh, the church bell tollin', oh, the hearse come driving slow
Oh, the church bell tollin', oh, the hearse come driving slow
I hope my baby
Don't leave me no more
Oh, tell me baby, oh, when are you coming back home?
Oh, tell me baby, oh, when are you coming back home?
You know I love you, baby
But you've been gone too long
Oh, I asked her for water, oh, she brought me gasoline
That's the troublingest woman
That I ever seen
Oh, the church bell tollin', oh, the hearse come driving slow
I hope my baby
Don't leave me no more
Oh, tell me baby, oh, when are you coming back home?
You know I love you, baby
But you've been gone too long

I think the singer is a cold-blooded psycho. He's killed his woman, he's watching the hearse roll by, and yet he doesn't know why she "left" him and when she's coming back to him.
Boy, did you ever misunderstand the lyrics. She's a "woo-hoo woman," which means that she's a party girl. A drunk. The narrator is bemoaning the fact that he's lost his woman to alcohol. Gasoline = alcohol.
