The Day The Well Went Dry

歌詞

Oh, the day the well went dry I was caught with soap in my eye Soap in my eye made me cry The day the well went dry No more water down in the well Who do we know? Who can we tell? Where will we tell them? Say "oh my", the day the well went dry 'Cause there's no more water down No more water down No more water, down in the well Honey, forget the pail Water-witcher came today Said water was three-hundred feet away Driller said a foot costs nine What a price to pay So I hooked up a hose to my neighbor's yard Said we could take all the water we need 'Til we get our new well dug Just bein' neighborly 'Cause there's no more water down No more water down No more water down in the well Honey, forget the pail Everybody's tryin' to cheer me up Even gave me a bottle of rye Bottle of rye, mud in your eye I ain't got the mud 'cause my well is dry My poor well is dry as a bone Its heyday has come and gone Come and gone, me oh my The day the well went dry 'Cause there's no more water down No more water down No more water down in the well Honey, forget the pail
