Dry Well Blues Lyrics
Dry Well Blues - Charley Patton
Way down in Lula hard living has done hit
Way down in Lula hard living has done hit
Lord your drought come on caught us
Parched up all the tree
Oh she stays over in Lula
Bid that old town goodbye
Stays in Lula bidding you the town goodbye
Fore I would come to know the day
Lula well was gone dry
Lord the citizens around Lula
Oh was doing very well
Citizens around Lula oh was doing very well
Now they're in hard luck together
'Cause rain don't pour nowhere
I ain't got no money and you ain't got no hope
I ain't got no money and you ain't got no hope
And you will come in furnished all the cotton and crops
Boy they tell me the country Lord it'll make you cry
Lord country Lord it'll make you cry
Most anybody Lord hasn't any water in the bayou
Lord the Lula women Lord putting Lula young men down
Lula men oh putting Lula men down
Lord you outta been there Lord
The women all leaving town
