Black eyed man he took the blame
For the poisoning of the well
They found his shoes by the pulley
They found his fingerprints
all over the pail
Verse 6
With a noose around (G major) his neck,
Cicadas trilling everywhere,
He says to the people gathered round him,
'it ain't the water that's not
right around (B minor) here'
Black eyed man I'm thirsty dear (G major) (C major)
(A minor) Be a love and bring some (C major) water here
Drawn fresh (G major) from the well
(C major) (G major)
