Lyrics:

Over the washes of the big and little Tujunga

Above the Mojave in a two-horse buckboard

Bill Mulholland and Fred Eaton set out for the Owens River Valley

In the fall of 1904

Through the Tehachapi up along the Sierra Nevada

Through the Green Valley towards the Owens River mouth

They come to bring that Owens River water

Two hundred miles to the desert city south

Ain’t you feeling dry, ain’t you feeling dry now

My brother, ain’t you feeling dry

I was a blaster in the black hole of Elizabeth

Hard rock tunneled five miles of the coast range

In the black mud we’d drilled and set the charges

Blew through that mountain in just a thousand days

Owens River water for the Queen of Angels

From the heavens of the High Sierra packed snow

Owens River water for the children of the Queen of Angels

And to make rich the land syndicate of the San Fernando

Ain’t you feeling dry, ain’t you feeling dry now

My brother, ain’t you feeling dry

My uncle pushed the Paiute from their valley

Cut out his homestead in blood

And pulled crops out of the desert sand

Then the south they come to share our water

Cause the south was thirsty my friend

Come the drought of ’19 they started pumpin’

Water from the Owens table underground

Our big cottonwoods died, our ranches they went dry

The green fields they blew dusty and brown

I set the first charges for the ranchers in ‘24

Fired the fuse on two hundred pounds of dynamite

Blew a hole in that aqueduct I’d helped build

Sent thunder rollin’ out across that desert night

Ain’t you feeling dry, ain’t you feeling dry now

My brother, ain’t you feeling dry

The Sacramento, the Kern, the Colorado

The King, the San Joaquin my friend

For the power, for the water, for the prosperity

And for the men with the money in the end

Tonight the Santa Ana’s drawing west across the Mojave

Blowing fire and dust onto L.A. County windowsills

Bill Mulholland and Fred Eaton are dead in their graves

The Queen of Angels, she remains thirsty still

Ain’t you feeling dry, ain’t you feeling dry now

My brother, ain’t you feeling dry
