Water in the Well

8. Water in the Well

Tell me who put the water in the well?

Tell me who put the water in the well?

Who put the clouds up in the sky

And made them fall to the ground when the dirt was dry?

Who put the water in the well?

Tell me who put the cotton in the fields?

Tell me who put the cotton in the fields?

Who made the fall wind blow and sing

And lift the blossom on the air like angel wings?

Who put the cotton in the fields?

Tell me who put the muscle in the man?

Tell me who put the muscle in the man?

Who wakes him when the rooster calls

And makes him break his back till darkness falls?

Who put the muscle in the man?

Tell me who, who put your hands in chains?

Tell me who, who put your hands in chains?

Who stole you from your earthly home

And fed you bit by bit to the beast below

Who put your hands in chains?

Tell me who put the hate in your heart?

Tell me who put the hate in your heart?

Who crawled into that blood red cave

And made your soul the devil's slave?

Who put the hate in your heart?

Who put the water in the well?

Tell me who put the water in the well?

Who put the clouds up in the sky

And made them fall to the ground when the dirt was dry?

Who put the water in the well?

Who put the water in the well?

Who put the water in the well?
