Track 05: Well Well Well

Well Well Well

by Danny O'Keefe and Bob Dylan

BRIDGE

well, well, well

well, well, well

the man who stole the water could swim forever more

but he'd never reach the land on that golden shore

that faint white light, it will haunt his heart

till he's only a memory, lost in the dark

CHORUS

you 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

BRIDGE

take care of your body like you care for you soul

don't leave yourself, people, down in a hole

until you pay the price, you don't know what it's worth

the air and the water, the fire and the earth

CHORUS

BRIDGE

that water used to run so clean and so fresh

no poison runs through it and withers the flesh

the man sells us back our water, like we're fish on his line

he wants to change our blood into his wine

CHORUS

BRIDGE
