[00:00.00]Desert Pete (1990 Digital Remaster) - The Kingston Trio
[00:06.78]I was travelin' west of buckskin on my way to
[00:09.58]A cattle run 'cross a little cactus desert under a
[00:13.05]Hard bargaining sun thirsty down to my toenails I stopped
[00:18.38]To rest me on a stump but I tell you
[00:20.68]I just couldn't believe it when I saw that water
[00:22.96]Pump I took it to be a mirage at first
[00:27.34]It'll fool a thirsty man then I saw a note
[00:31.15]Stuck in a bakin' powder can this pump is old
[00:35.67]The note began but she works so give'er a try
[00:38.75]I put a new sucker washer in 'er you may
[00:41.07]Find the leather dry
[00:43.51]You've got to prime the pump you must have faith
[00:46.95]And believe you've got to give of yourself 'fore you're
[00:50.30]Worthy to receive
[00:52.82]Drink all the water you can hold wash your face
[00:55.93]To your feet leave the bottle full for others thank
[00:59.43]You kindly desert pete
[01:02.60]Yeah you'll have to prime the pump work that handle
[01:04.93]Like there's a fire under the rock you'll find some
[01:08.30]Water left there in a bitter's jar now there's just
[01:12.50]Enough to prime it with so don't you go drinkin'
[01:15.12]First just pour it in and pump like mad and
[01:18.54]Buddy you'll quench your thirst
[01:20.83]You've got to prime the pump you must have faith
[01:23.96]And believe you've got to give of yourself 'fore you're
[01:27.64]Worthy to receive
[01:29.87]Drink all the water you can hold wash your face
[01:33.42]To your feet leave the bottle full for others thank
[01:36.76]You kindly desert pete
[01:39.65]Well I found the jar and I tell you nothin'
[01:41.92]Was ever prettier to my eye and I was tempted
[01:44.88]Strong to drink it because that pump looked mighty dry
[01:49.12]But the note went on have faith my friend there's
[01:51.24]Water down below you've got to give to really get
[01:55.23]I'm the one who ought to know
[01:58.49]So I poured in the jar and started pumpin' and
[02:00.55]I heard a beautiful sound of water bubblin' 'n' splashin'
[02:04.48]Up out of that hole in the ground then I
[02:08.59]Took off my shoes and drunk my fill of that
[02:10.24]Cold refreshin' treat thin I thanked the Lord and I
