Desert Pete (1990 Digital Remaster) - The Kingston Trio[00:00:00]

I was travelin' west of buckskin on my way to[00:00:06]

A cattle run 'cross a little cactus desert under a[00:00:09]

Hard bargaining sun thirsty down to my toenails I stopped[00:00:13]

To rest me on a stump but I tell you[00:00:18]

I just couldn't believe it when I saw that water[00:00:20]

Pump I took it to be a mirage at first[00:00:22]

It'll fool a thirsty man then I saw a note[00:00:27]

Stuck in a bakin' powder can this pump is old[00:00:31]

The note began but she works so give'er a try[00:00:35]

I put a new sucker washer in 'er you may[00:00:38]

Find the leather dry[00:00:41]

You've got to prime the pump you must have faith[00:00:43]

And believe you've got to give of yourself 'fore you're[00:00:46]

Worthy to receive[00:00:50]

Drink all the water you can hold wash your face[00:00:52]

To your feet leave the bottle full for others thank[00:00:55]

You kindly desert pete[00:00:59]

Yeah you'll have to prime the pump work that handle[00:01:02]

Like there's a fire under the rock you'll find some[00:01:04]

Water left there in a bitter's jar now there's just[00:01:08]

Enough to prime it with so don't you go drinkin'[00:01:12]

First just pour it in and pump like mad and[00:01:15]

Buddy you'll quench your thirst[00:01:18]

You've got to prime the pump you must have faith[00:01:20]

And believe you've got to give of yourself 'fore you're[00:01:23]

Worthy to receive[00:01:27]

Drink all the water you can hold wash your face[00:01:29]

To your feet leave the bottle full for others thank[00:01:33]

You kindly desert pete[00:01:36]

Well I found the jar and I tell you nothin'[00:01:39]

Was ever prettier to my eye and I was tempted[00:01:41]

Strong to drink it because that pump looked mighty dry[00:01:44]

But the note went on have faith my friend there's[00:01:49]

Water down below you've got to give to really get[00:01:51]

I'm the one who ought to know[00:01:55]

So I poured in the jar and started pumpin' and[00:01:58]

I heard a beautiful sound of water bubblin' 'n' splashin'[00:02:00]

Up out of that hole in the ground then I[00:02:04]

Took off my shoes and drunk my fill of that[00:02:08]

Cold refreshin' treat thin I thanked the Lord and I[00:02:10]

Old desert pete[00:02:14]

You've got to prime the pump you must have faith[00:02:16]

And believe you've got to give of yourself 'fore you're[00:02:20]

Worthy to receive[00:02:23]

Drink all the water you can hold wash your face[00:02:26]

To your feet leave the bottle full for others thank[00:02:29]

You kindly desert pete[00:02:32]

Drink all the water you can hold wash your face[00:02:34]

To your feet leave the bottle full for others thank[00:02:37]

You kindly desert pete[00:02:41]
