Mary Lee Kortes - Well By The Water

We did well by the water
By the water, by the water
We did well by the water
By the water in the well
 
Papa was a preacher's son
Said he never saved no one
By the water in the well
 
We did well by the water
By the water, by the water
We did well by the water
By the water in the well
 
Mama said she told him lies
Said the truth must be capsized
By the water in the well
 
We did well by the water
By the water, by the water
We did well by the water
By the water in the well
 
Daddy served the daily drink
Watched everybody's trouble sink
By the water in the well
 
Hide the heart and cut the thread
All the dreaded secrets dead
By the water in the well
 
We did well by the water
By the water, by the water
We did well by the water
By the water in the well
 
Stolen gold and spirits drowned
Rise up in another town
By the water in the well
 
When we've been here 10,000 years
We can measure all our tears
By the water in the well
 
We did well by the water
By the water, by the water
We did well by the water
By the water in the well
