Desert Pete (1990 Digital Remaster) - The Kingston Trio

I was travelin' west of buckskin on my way to

A cattle run 'cross a little cactus desert under a

Hard bargaining sun thirsty down to my toenails I stopped

To rest me on a stump but I tell you

I just couldn't believe it when I saw that water

Pump I took it to be a mirage at first

It'll fool a thirsty man then I saw a note

Stuck in a bakin' powder can this pump is old

The note began but she works so give'er a try

I put a new sucker washer in 'er you may

Find the leather dry

You've got to prime the pump you must have faith

And believe you've got to give of yourself 'fore you're

Worthy to receive

Drink all the water you can hold wash your face

To your feet leave the bottle full for others thank

You kindly desert pete

Yeah you'll have to prime the pump work that handle

Like there's a fire under the rock you'll find some

Water left there in a bitter's jar now there's just

Enough to prime it with so don't you go drinkin'

First just pour it in and pump like mad and

Buddy you'll quench your thirst

You've got to prime the pump you must have faith

And believe you've got to give of yourself 'fore you're

Worthy to receive

Drink all the water you can hold wash your face

To your feet leave the bottle full for others thank

You kindly desert pete

Well I found the jar and I tell you nothin'

Was ever prettier to my eye and I was tempted

Strong to drink it because that pump looked mighty dry

But the note went on have faith my friend there's

Water down below you've got to give to really get

I'm the one who ought to know

So I poured in the jar and started pumpin' and

I heard a beautiful sound of water bubblin' 'n' splashin'

Up out of that hole in the ground then I

Took off my shoes and drunk my fill of that

Cold refreshin' treat thin I thanked the Lord and I

Old desert pete

You've got to prime the pump you must have faith

And believe you've got to give of yourself 'fore you're

Worthy to receive

Drink all the water you can hold wash your face

To your feet leave the bottle full for others thank

You kindly desert pete

Drink all the water you can hold wash your face

To your feet leave the bottle full for others thank

You kindly desert pete
