Carry The Water

Her momma took her, square by the shoulder,
“Don’t you go walkin alone.
Your daddy saw that lion in the hollow.
You know he’ll follow you home.”

Daughter, carry the water. Don’t carry the water alone.
Carry the water. Don’t carry the water alone. Yeah, oh.

That tricky lion, he took your cousin.
He knows our family too well.
He’ll take his time, waiting in the willow.
Please don’t go off by yourself.

Daughter, carry the water. Don’t carry the water alone.
Carry the water. Don’t carry the water alone, yeah, oh yeah.

Your grandpa told me, he knows the story.
That cat stays down by the stream.
Lying beside you, you’ll never know it.
He knows how not to be seen.

Daughter, carry the water. Don’t carry the water alone.
Carry the water. Don’t carry the water alone, yeah, oh yeah.

Down in the village, they all are watching
a cat with a crooked tail.
He freed himself from the hunter safari.
He took down the hunter as well.

Daughter, carry the water. Don’t carry the water alone.
Carry the water. Don’t carry the water alone, no, no, yeah.

Carry the water. Don’t carry the water alone, no, no, yeah.

Carry the water. Don’t carry the water alone, yeah, oh no.
