Dig a little deeper in the well boys
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You've gotta dig a little deeper in the well

My daddy used to tell me
Don't be fooled by what you see
If you want to get down to the heart of things
You gotta look way down deep
Second place don't get it son
Winners got to come in first
There's nothin' worse than to take a drink
That leaves you with a thirst

Dig a little deeper in the well boys
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You've gotta dig a little deeper in the well

A good man needs a good woman
She's the rock that'll make him strong
She'll be there to lean on
When the whole world's done him wrong
Ain't nothin' like good lovin'
Well that's how it's meant to be
Find yourself a good woman son
Like your mama's been good to me
Dig a little deeper in the well boys
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You've gotta dig a little deeper in the well

There's a mighty river flowin'
Where the water is cool and sweet
Don't be fooled by the muddy sream
Be careful when you drink
Life is what you make it
Sometimes it's a livin' hell
If you want to find that promised land
You got to dig a little deeper in the well

Dig a little deeper in the well boys
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You've gotta dig a little deeper in the well

Dig a little deeper in the well boys
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You've gotta dig a little deeper in the well

Dig a little deeper in the well boys
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good cool drink of water
You've gotta dig a little deeper in the well
Dig a little deeper in the well boys
