Water
©2002 Frank Gayer Martin

Three feet of snow
should've had ten
It was gone by June
Just robbed by the wind
Never filled up the creek
Nor the reservoir
Now all the tanks are dry
And there ain't no more

Water, water
There's no water down here

Had a little well
Just 40 feet down
Pulled sweet, clear water
Pulled year around
Until that day in August
Summer of '01
With 500 head of cattle
That dreaded day had come without...

Water, water
There's no water down here

But if you've got money
And you're willing to pay
A handful of lawyers
You might find a way


From ditches and the river
We sold our water rights
It's better than foreclosure
Bankers did advise
Oh, It looked okay on paper
Back in '89
But developments are thirsty
Now they're first in line for…

Water, water
There's no water down here
