June 9th, 2018 UPDATE: EqD Bonus Music - https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/06/bonus-music-135.html#more

Hello everyone! I finally got around to finishing what has been in production for quite awhile now!

I did an unplugged version of this song a long time ago ( you can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SX01JVyKeY ), but it feels great to have both version done now!

Inspired by the "Buckball Season" episode of MLP, this song is what I came up with after I heard Snails singing a quick little jingle. This tune takes that cute jingle and treats it like Snails has made a journey across Equestria with those buckets of water. His journey is done and he's back home now in Ponyville!

LYRICS

Carryin’ my water
My water, my water
Carryin’ my water
On my shoulder pole

Manehattan, back to Ponyville
The path is laid out for me
Got my buckets of water filled
My delivery
The road ahead is long
And it’s dangerous and scary
But I’ll just keep singin’ this song
Free of all wary

I know to keep moving on
Don’t need no train or fee
I know from the break of dawn
Celestia watches me

That’s why I’m
Carryin’ my water
My water, my water
Carryin’ my water
On my shoulder pole

I made my way through a small town
Where I was greeted evenly
Smiles were all around
I was welcomed equally
In the mountains I met a buffalo
He looked so sad and all alone
I said “don’t hang your head so low”
I’m also far from home

I told him “No need to grunt
Just get back on the right track”
I told him “A hoof in front
Eventually leads you back”

I’ll keep on…
Carryin’ my water
My water, my water
Carryin’ my water
On my shoulder pole

I’ll keep on singin’ this tune
With a smile on my face
I’ll be home very soon
Just gotta keep up the Snails pace

Canterlot was great
I could see my house from up on high
And there across the way
The winged city in the sky
Home sweet home at last
Ponyville needs a refreshing drink
My journey was a blast
It was over in a blink

It’s great to finally be done
And see my home again
It’s great to think about it none
And finally call it in

I’m now done
Carryin’ my water
My water, my water
Carryin’ my water
On my shoulder pole

Both the wonderful artwork and adorable video were made by Hyper Dash. He is a good friend of mine and will be helping me with future videos as well! He's the one who animated Snails trotting along the map, so go show him some love here:
