The Day The Well Went Dry

C
Oh the day the well went dry
                  G
I was caught with soap in my eye.
G
Soap in my eye, made me cry
                      C
The day the well went dry.
C
No more water down in the well,
                G
Who do we know, who can we tell?
G
Where will we tell them?
                                  C
Say, Oh my! The day the well went dry.

               C
'Cause there's no more water down...
              C
No more water down...
F             C
No more water down in the well,
G                 C
Honey, forget the pail.

C
Water witcham came today
                             G
Said water was three-hundred feet away
G
Drewer said, "A foot costs nine."
                C
What a price to pay!
     C
So I hooked up a hose to my neighbor's yard.
                           G
Said we could take all the water we need
G
'Til we get our new well dug.
                    C
"Just bein' neighborly."

               C
'Cause there's no more water down...
              C
No more water down...
F             C
No more water down in the well,
G                 C
Honey, forget the pail.

C
Everybody's tryin' to cheer me up.
               G
Even gave me a bottle of rye.
G
Bottle of rye, mud in your eye,
                            C
Aint got the mud 'cause the well is dry.
C
My poor well is dry as a bone,
                G
It's hayday has come and gone.
G
Come and gone, me oh my!
                      C
The day the well went dry!

               C
'Cause there's no more water down...
              C
No more water down...
F             C
No more water down in the well,
G                 C
Honey, forget the pail.
