The first time that I met him, he didn't look so fine,
It must have been a good five years 'til we met up one more time,
To say he was looking better was the difference between Heaven and Hell,
I said, 'I don't know what you're drinking, but pour me a pint as well.'

He said, 'All I'm drinking's water from the stream that's never dry,
No drought could make it run out, no matter how it might try,'
And I can't quite explain it in a way that I can tell,
I said, 'I don't know what you're drinking, but pour me a pint as well,'
I don't know what you're drinking, but pour me a pint as well.

He said it had nothing to do with him; it was someone that he met,
He offered him living water, now his glass was always wet,
This water was something special, not drawn from a regular well,
I said, 'I don't know what you're drinking, but pour me a pint as well.'

He said, 'All I'm drinking's water from a stream that's never dry,
No drought could make it run out, no matter how it might try,'
And I can't quite explain it in a way that I could tell,
I said, 'I don't know what you're drinking, but pour me a pint as well,'
Oh, I don't know what you're drinking, but pour me a pint as well.

He said, 'I'd love to help you, but it's not mine to give,
You'd need to see the proprietor if want to drink and live,
You won't buy this in a barroom, for they've got none to sell,'
I said, 'I don't know what you're drinking, but pour me a pint as well.'

He said, 'All I'm drinking's water from a stream that's never dry,
No drought could make it run out, no matter how it might try,'
And I can't quite explain it in a way that I can tell,
I said, 'I don't know what you're drinking, but pour me a pint as well,'
Oh, I don't know what you're drinking, but pour me a pint as well,
'All I'm drinking's water from a stream that's never dry,
No drought could make it run out, no matter how it might try,'
And I can't quite explain it in a way that I could tell,
I said, 'I don't know what you're drinking, but pour me a pint as well,'
Oh, I don't know what you're drinking, but pour me a pint as well.
