Version 1C G7 In the desert where we searched for gold F G7 The days were hot the nights were cold F Am Hank and Joe and Me walked on G7 C So bold and brave and free G7 For days and days we fought the heat F G7 I got so thirsty and I got so weak F Am And when I fell cause I couldn’t go G7 C I heard Hank say to Joe G7 C G7 C He’s dieing for water hear him crying for water Am Well lay him down in the dust and sand C Am He said Joe you know he’s a dieing man C Am Leave him there and let him die C G7 C I can’t stand to hear him cry for water G7 I don’t remember how long I lay F G7 But when I woke it was the break of day F Am Buzzards circled miles ahead G7 C I knew Hank and Joe were dead G7 My eyes were dim but I could see F G7 A bed of gold nuggets under me F Am Now I know that it won’t be long G7 C Till they decorate my bones G7 C G7 C Cause I’m dieing for water can’t help crying for water Am They said lay him down in the dust and sand C Am He said Joe you know he’s a dieing man C Am Leave him there and let him die C G7 C I can’t stand to hear him cry for water G7 C He couldn’t stand to hear me cry for water
