When I was young I heard it said
Somewhere sweet water’s flowing
Just to keep men young yes I heard it said
Said I swear I’m going

Sweet water rolling
Sweet water roll
Rolling from the fountain
Sweet water roll

I’d travelled far too far I thought
But I found those rivers raging
I spent my days but what I bought
It never kept me from my aging

Sweet water rolling
Sweet water roll
Rolling from the fountain
Sweet water roll

My feet will be forever sore
My hands too tired for stealing
My bones will ache forever more
If that water it ain’t healing

Sweet water rolling
Sweet water roll
Rolling from the fountain
Sweet water roll

Sweet water roll

Now I’m getting old my time’s nearby
Gone is my sweet cajolin’
But I ain’t too old for one more try
Just to see where the water’s rolling

Sweet water rolling
Sweet water roll
Rolling from the fountain
Sweet water roll

Sweet water roll
