I Asked For Water [He Gave Me Gasoline]

I asked him for water, gave me gasoline
I asked him for water, gave me gasoline
I asked him for water but he gave me gasoline

I went down to the depot
Looked up on the board
I went down to the depot
Looked up on the board
Saw that train a-runnin' but I
Could not get on board

I asked the conductor, can I ride the blinds?
I asked the conductor, can I ride the blinds?
Said, "Girl, buy your ticket, buy your ticket
'Cause this train ain't none of mine"

Well I asked him for water, gave me gasoline
I asked him for water, gave me gasoline
I asked him for water
But he gave me gasoline
