Pat Wictor

Well, Well, Well

The man who stole the water will swim forevermore
But he'll never reach the land on that golden shore
That faint white light will haunt his heart
Till he's only a memory lost in the dark

    Dig a hole in the ground
    Straight down to hell
    Till there ain't no more water in that well, well, well
    When you're down on your knees
    With nothing left to sell
    Try digging a little deeper in that well, well, well

Take care of your body like you care for your soul
Don't dig yourself into a hole
Until you've paid the price, you can't know what it's worth
The air, water, fire and earth

    Dig a hole in the ground
    Straight down to hell
    Till there ain't no more water in that well, well, well
    When you're down on your knees
    With nothing left to sell
    Try digging a little deeper in that well, well, well
