Words by Danny O Keefe / Music by Bob Dylan
The man who stole the water will swim forevermore
But he ll never reach the land on that golden shore
That faint white light will haunt his heart
Till he s only a memory lost in the dark
Dig a hole in the ground straight down to hell
Till there ain t no more water in the wellwellwell
When you re down on your knees with nothing left to sell
Try diggin a little deeper in the wellwellwell
Wellwellwell
Wellwellwell
Take care of your body like you care for your soul
Don t you dig yourself into a hole
Until you ve paid the price you can t know what it s worth
The air and waterthe fire and earth
Dig a hole in the ground straight down to hell
Till there ain t no more water in the wellwellwell
When you re down on your knees with nothing left to sell
Try diggin a little deeper in the well well well
Wellwellwell
Wellwellwell
