| Oh, there isn’t any water
|
| There isn’t any water
|
| There isn’t any water in the well
|
| Oh, the ground is mighty dry
|
| Not a cloud up in the sky
|
| There ain’t no water in the well
|
| Bone dry, bone dry
|
| Everything at home is bone dry
|
| Dry as a bone (Bone dry)
|
| Dry as a bone (Bone dry)
|
| Everything at home is bone dry
|
| Take a bucket down the road, take a bucket down the road
|
| A bucket down the road, little Nell
|
| Go ahead, my little daughter
|
| Try to steal the neighbor’s water
|
| 'Cause there ain’t no water in the well
|
| Bone dry, bone dry
|
| Everything at home is bone dry
|
| Dry as a bone (Bone dry)
|
| Dry as a bone (Bone dry)
|
| Everything at home is bone dry
|
| Oh, there ain’t no use in tryin', there ain’t no use in tryin'
|
| There ain’t no use in tryin', little Nell
|
| There ain’t no use in tryin'
|
| I hear the neighbors cryin'
|
| 'Cause there ain’t no water in the well
|
| Bone dry, bone dry
|
| Everything at home is bone dry
|
| Dry as a bone (Bone dry)
|
| Dry as a bone (Bone dry)
|
| Everything at home is dry as a bone (Bone dry)
|
| We better start a-prayin', we better start a-prayin'
|
| We better start a-prayin', little Nell
|
| Oh, we better start a-prayin' for the Lord to start a-rainin'
|
| There ain’t no water in the well
|
| Bone dry, bone dry
|
| Everything at home is bone dry
|
| Dry as a bone (Bone dry)
|
| Dry as a bone (Bone dry)
|
| Everything at home is bone dry
|
| Bone, bone dry
|
| Bone, bone dry
|
| Everything at home is bone, bone dry |
