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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:41] Find the leather dry

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

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

[00:00:50] Worthy to receive

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

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

[00:00:59] You kindly desert pete

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:27] Worthy to receive

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

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

[00:01:36] You kindly desert pete

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:14] Old desert pete

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

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

[00:02:23] Worthy to receive

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

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

[00:02:32] You kindly desert pete

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

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

[00:02:41] You kindly desert pete
