The Day The Well Went Dry

verse 1 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. verse 2 Water witcham came today Said water was three-hundred feet away Drewer 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. verse 3 Everybody's tryin' to cheer me up. Even gave me a bottle of rye. Bottle of rye, mud in your eye, Aint got the mud 'cause the well is dry. My poor well is dry as a bone, It's hayday 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.
