Son Run To The Spring
Recorded by Cal Smith
Written by Don Wayne

G C G
Daddy was working on the pipeline up in Pittsburg
D7 G
Brother was off in Asia fightin' some fool war
C G
Late one night momma came down with a real fierce hurting
D7 G
We had no phone and the doctor lived too far

C G
I said momma I reckon I'd best go fetch the neighbor
D7 G
She said I'll be all right there ain't no need
C G
But she kept on gettin' worse instead of better
D7 G
With a feverish look she pleaded up at me

C G
She said son run to the spring and get some water
C D7
To cool your momma's parched and thirsting lips
G C G
Cause I believe some good cool clear spring water
D7 G
Will make this awful fever lose its grip

C G
I said momma there's good cold water in the icebox
D7 G
I fetched it up fresh late this afternoon
C G
She said son now you be good and mind your momma
D7 G
Cause that water in the icebox just won't do

C G
So I ran down to the spring to fetch some water
C D7
She was crying as I softly shut the door
G C G
And when I got back to the house with good clear water
D7 G D7
My momma wasn't thirsty any more

G C G
Through the years I've come to understand and value
D7 G
The courage in my momma's gentle soul
C G
And how she chose to bare her cross alone and spare me
D7 G
From watchin' the grim reaper take his toll

C G
She said son run to the spring and fetch some water
C D7
She was crying as I softly shut the door
G C G
Now she's gone where there'll always be good cool water
D7 C G
And she'll never thirst for anything no more
