Togey Water
VERSE 1
D
When you're dying of thirst and the sun boils your brain
G
Only one thing is worse than a mouthful of sand
E
When the cornbread's so dry it'll make you slap your mama
A
When you wake up from a long night of PBR & blotter
D G
Son, you'd better have a swig of Togey Water
CHORUS
E
Togey Water is orange and pale
A
Just like your sucking on a rusty nail
F#
Noah built the arc and the flood hit the hollow
B7 E
Forty days and forty nights of Togey Water
VERSE 2
It's the cure for pain that creeps up inside us
Chicken pox, consumption, and that mean old hepatitis
Headache and fever, T.B. and tonsillitis
You'll be peeling your potatoes with your arthritis
Shingles and heartburn and encephilitis
VERSE 3
I heard tell of a time when my grandpa was small
Bottled and sold it as a cure all
Down in Saratoga they got a little smarter
Days seemed shorter and the summer's hotter
One things the same bet your bottom dollar
“There ain't nothing changed about old Togey Water”
