Dig dig a little deeper in the well, boys Dig a little deeper in the well If you want a good cool drink of water You gotta dig a little deeper in the well.
My daddy used to tell me don't be fooled by what you see If you want to get to the heart of things you gotta look way down deep Second place don't get it son winners got to come in first There's nothin' worse than to take a drink that leaves you with a thirst
A good man needs a good womanshe's the rock that'll make him strong Now she'll be there to lean on when the whole world's done him wrong Ain't nothin' like good lovin' that's the way it's meant to be Find yourself a good woman son like your mama's been to me.
The mighty river's flowin' where the water's cool and sweet Don't be fooled by a muddy dream be careful when you drink Life is what you make it sometimes a livin' hell If you want to find that promised land dig a little deeper in the well.
