Lyrics Well, Well, Well - Ben Harper, The Blind Boys Of Alabama

Well, Well, Well

The man who stole the water
Will swim forever more
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 the well, well, well
When you’re down on your knees
With nothing left to sell
Try diggin' a little deeper
In the well, well, well
Say, well, well, well
Well, well, well
Now, take care of your body
Like you care for your soul
Don’t you dig yourself
Into a hole
Til you’ve paid the price
You can’t know what it’s worth
The air and water
The fire and earth
Now, dig a hole in the ground
Straight down to hell
Till there ain’t no more water
In the well, well, well
When you’re down on your knees
With nothing left to sell
Try diggin' a little deeper
In the well, well, well
I said, well, well, well
Well, well, well
