There Ain't No Water in the Well

There Ain't No Water in the Well © 5/2002 Bob Mullany

There ain't no water in the well,
There ain't no water in the well,
Creek's gone dry, and it's hot as the dickens
The cow's dry too, had to slaughter all the chickens
And you cover up your face as the dust storm swells
And there ain't no water in the well

There ain't no water in the well,
There ain't no water in the well,
Neighbors come calling, but you never can tell
If they just come calling
Or it's fear that they're smelling
And they hope you're selling
'Cause there ain't no water in the well

There ain't no water in the well,
There ain't no water in the well,
Now the banker's here with his starched white collar
And making you an offer 'bout a dime to the dollar
And you're clean out of credit so you might as well sell
'Cause there ain't no water in the well
