Dig a Little Deeper (In the Well) Songtext
von Billy Strings

Well, 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 better dig a little deeper in the well
Oh, dig a little deeper in the well, boys
Dig a little deeper in the well
Well, you need a good cool drink of water
You better dig a little deeper in the well

Well, my papa used to tell me
"Don′t be fooled by things you see
If you wanna get at the heart of things
You gotta dig way down deep
Yeah, second place don't get it Son
A winner gotta come in first
There ain′t nothin' worse than takin' a drink
That leaves you with the thirst"


Oh, 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 better dig a little deeper in the well
Oh, 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 better dig a little deeper in the well
Come on, Michael
Yeah

Well, a good man needs a good woman
She′s the rock that′ll make him strong
She'll be there to lean on
When the whole world′s done him wrong
There ain't nothin′ like good lovin', man
It′s the way it is meant to be
You better find you a woman that'll dig up to you
Like your mama's been to me

Oh, 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 better dig a little deeper in the well
Oh, 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 better dig a little deeper in the well
Alright, Ronnie


There′s a mighty river flowin′
And there's water that′s cool and sweet
Don't you be fooled by a muddy stream
Be careful where you drink
Said, "Life is what you make it
Sometimes it′s a livin' hell
And if you wanna get to the promised land
You better dig a little deeper in the well"

Said, "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 better dig a little deeper in the well
Oh, 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 better dig a little deeper in the well"
