Desert Pete
Artist: The Kingston Trio (peak Billboard position # 33 in 1963)
Words and Music by Billy Edd Wheeler
I was travellin?West a buckskin on my way to a cattle run
Cross a little cactus desert under a hot blisterin?sun
I was thirsty down to my toenails, stopped to rest me on a stump
I took it to be a mirage at first, it’ll fool a thirsty man
Then I saw a note stuck in a bakin?powder can
“This pump is old? the note began, “but she works so give’r a try”ndly, Desert Pete”in?up
outta that hole in the ground
I took off my shoes and I drunk my fill of that cool refreshing treat
I thank the Lord and thank the pump and I thank old Desert Pete
“You’ve got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe?
