Album: Small World Big Band (2001)

License This Song 

• You can take a horse to the water
  but you can't make him drink
  Oh no, oh no, oh no
  
  A friend of mine in so much misery
  Some people sail through life,but he has struck a reef
  I said 'hey man let's go out and get some wisdom'
  But first he turned on me, then he turned off his nervous system
  
  You take a horse to water but
  you can't make him drink
  Oh no, oh no, oh no
  You can have it all layed/staked out in front
  of you but it still don't make you think
  Oh no, oh no, oh no
  
  Someone I love is gotta problem
  Some people thirst for truth, but he would like a drink
  I said 'Hey man this could turn out to be risky'
  He said 'everything's ok' as he downed another bottle of whiskey
  
  There's a preacher out there warned me about Satan
  Could be that he knows him
  Cause' He acts like he's possessed
  I said 'Hey man let's hear about God realisation
  For a change'
  he said "We ain't got time for that
  First you must hear the evils of fornication" Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

• Francis from Nj UsaSam Brown's performance is joyous, inspiring, magnificent! Combined with George and Dhani's lyric, this experience is truly transcendental! The greatest of all time!
• Jowls from Ypsilanti, MiI must agree with Alan from Ontario that this very interesting song as it was performed by Jules and Especially Sam is one of the most incredible performances of anything by anybody ever recorded in any format period!!!!!
• Alan from Sault Ste. Marie, OnSaw Sam Brown sing this at the George Harrison tribute. Her performance was unbelievable. The best I have ever heard and I'm 61 and have listened to and watched many a singer a large number of which were superb but all pail in comparison to Sam Browns at that concert. If you get a chance go to youtube and watch her performance you won't believe it. Having said that her song did not make on to the CD. Anyone know why??
• Bill from Gladstone, AustraliaSam brown sang it on the tribute to george album,she was also on pink floyds pulse.On both occasions she was the stand out performer
• Bmn from Hisuan, ArgentinaGeorge didn't recorded the guitar for this song, he was too weak because of his cancer.
• Kevin from Reading , PaTo my ears, this song is a brother/sister of Dylan's "Slow Train Coming" from his born-again period. Both songs have a religious fervor and are propelled by driving horn sections and hell-fire warnings in their no-nonsense vocals. Despite his weakened condition, Harrison's vocals are some of the strongets he ever committed to record/disc. A tour-de-force from a dying man.
• Ken from Louisville, KyYes, Jools Holland is the former keyboard player in Squeeze. He is now a television interviewer and sometimes rock producer and performer. He conducted most of the interviews for the Beatles' Anthology videos. In fact, you can see his head stick out on the scenes on Paul's yacht!
• Teresa from Mechelen, BelgiumAt this moment I'm listening to this song but I never heard it before. Miss you George! Hello Stefanie, it's always a pleasure for me to read your messages, have a nice day and see you later.
• Stefanie from Rock Hill, ScOops. I might not be thinking of the right guy.
• Stefanie from Rock Hill, ScI've never heard this song. But from the title it seems to be based partly on the saying: "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." Btw, wasn't Jules Holland in the band Squeeze?
