I was travelin' West of Buckskin on my way to a cattle run, 'cross a little cact us 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 w ater pump. I took it to be a mirage at first. It'll fool a thirsty man. Then I s aw a note stuck in a bakin' powder can. "This pump is old," the note b egan, "but she works. So give'er a try. I put a new sucker washer in 'er. Y ou may find the leather dry.
Chorus:
You've got to prime the pump. You must have faith and believe. You've got to giv e of yourself 'fore you're worthy to receive.
Drink all the water you can hold. Wash your face cool your feet. Leave the bottl e 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 pum p like mad and, buddy, you'll quench your thirst.
(Chorus)
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 not e 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 wate r bubblin' 'n' splashin' up out of that hole in the ground. Then I took off my s hoes and drunk my fill of that cold refreshin' treat. Then I thanked the Lord, a nd I thanked the pump, and I thanked old Desert Pete.
(Chorus)
