Norman Greenbaum - The Day The Well Went Dry Lyrics
Oh, the day the well went dryI was caught with soap in my eyeSoap in my eye made me cryThe day the well went dryNo more water down in the wellWho 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 downNo more water downNo more water, down in the wellHoney, forget the pailWater-witcher came todaySaid water was three-hundred feet awayDriller said a foot costs nineWhat a price to paySo I hooked up a hose to my neighbor's yardSaid we could take all the water we need'Til we get our new well dugJust bein' neighborly'Cause there's no more water downNo more water downNo more water down in the wellHoney, forget the pailEverybody's tryin' to cheer me upEven gave me a bottle of ryeBottle of rye, mud in your eyeI ain't got the mud 'cause my well is dryMy poor well is dry as a boneIts heyday has come and goneCome and gone, me oh myThe day the well went dry'Cause there's no more water downNo more water downNo more water down in the wellHoney, forget the pail
