(Sam Hopkins)
Never miss your water, water
Till your well run dry
Never miss your water, water
Till your well run dry
You know you never miss your little woman
Until she says goodbye
Whoa, you know I'm my papa's baby
I'm my mama's baby child
You know I'm my papa's baby
Oh, mama's baby child
Whoa, you know you never miss your water
Lord, until your well go dry
You know I've been wonderin'
What makes a well run dry?
Whoa, you know I've been wonderin', wonderin'
Oh, boy what makes a well run dry?
You know that's when the earth
Done settle down on the water
Ain't no more water passing by
