Donna Ulisse - Levi Stone Lyrics
He taught his child to do the sameSo when his son took sick that winterHe knew he'd be fine once springtime cameThe boy grew weaker by the hourBut Levi Stone never lost faithHe told his wife no county doctorQuit your cryin' woman, kneel down and prayCHORUS:Papa, please, a drink of waterWipe the fever from my browTell these angels all around meThey need to put me downPapa, you tell them I'm in God's hands nowDeath came hard in fourteen sunsetsA woman's wail tore through the skyAnd Levi Stone sat by the bedsideLost and alone, betrayed by God that nightCHORUS:Papa, please, a drink of waterWipe the fever from my browTell these angels all around meThey need to put me downPapa, you tell them I'm in God's hands nowSixteen years left Levi bitterHe'd lost his son, he lost his wifeThe voices whisper, "I'm cold and thirsty"Well, he lost his mind that winter nightCHORUS:Papa, please, a drink of waterWipe the fever from my browTell these angels all around meThey need to put me downPapa, you tell them I'm in God's hands now
