James,  I really appreciate the lyrics.  However you didn't help me win my argument.  (Ha ha) I know it sounds like DOOR,  but I thought it would be HOARD,  because it rhymes with AFFORD.  Also the idea of being surrounded by A DOOR seems strange to me.  Anyway that's another point for the other side.  Our version came from a disc also.  I would love to see a copy of the original lyrics.  But thank you so much.   I really do appreciate the effort.   Mary

I had a copy of the lyrics to "One Drop Of Water" stored on a floppy disc so I thought I'd pass it on.
 
Here it is:
 

ONE DROP OF WATER

(Key of A)

 

 

THE RICH MAN LIVED IN LUXURY SURROUNDED BY HIS DOOR

 

HEâD ALWAYS HAD THE VERY BEST THAT MONEY COULD AFFORD

 

HE LEFT THIS WORLD NOT CARING ABOUT HIS RESTING PLACE

 

HE LAID HIS EYES TOWARD HEAVEN, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE.

 

 

Chorus:

GIVE ME ONE DROP OF WATER, THE RICH MAN CRIED FROM HELL

 

ONE DROP OF WATER, BUT STILL NO WATER FELL

 

HE ALWAYS WAS A SELFISH MAN HIS HEART WAS FULL OF GREED

 

BUT A LITTLE DROP OF WATER IS ALL HEâLL EVER NEED.

(fiddle break)

 

 

YOU CANâT LOVE GOLD AND SILVER AND LOVE THE SAVIOR TOO

 

LIKE THE EYE OF AN EAGLE, YOUR CHANCE OF GETTING THROUGH

 

SO MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS BEFORE ANOTHER DAY

 

FOR ALL YOUR GOLD AND SILVER WILL SURELY PASS AWAY

(Chorus & mandolin break)

 

 

THEREâS ONE WAY TO HEAVEN, ITâS BY AMAZING GRACE

 

WHERE EVERYONE IS EQUAL, NO MATTER CREED OR RACE

 

SO HAVE NO OTHER BIBLE AND ALWAYS PUT GOD FIRST

 

WEâLL LIVE ON MILK AND HONEY AND WE WILL NEVER THIRST.

(Chorus)

 

 

Hope this helps!

James A. Shelton
