The Day The Well Went Dry Chords & Lyrics - Norman Greenbaum

[VERSE 1]
[C]Oh the day the well went dry
I was caught with [G]soap in my eye.
[G]Soap in my eye, made me cry
The day the well went [C]dry.
[C]No more water down in the well,
Who do we know, [G]who can we tell?
[G]Where will we tell them?
Say, Oh my! The day the well went [C]dry.

[CHORUS]
'Cause there's [C]no more water down...
No more water [C]down...
[F]No more water [C]down in the well,
[G]Honey, forget the [C]pail.

[VERSE 2]
[C]Water witcham came today
Said water was three-hundred [G]feet away
[G]Drewer said, "A foot costs nine."
What a price to [C]pay!
So I [C]hooked up a hose to my neighbor's yard.
Said we could take all the [G]water we need
[G]'Til we get our new well dug.
"Just bein' neighbor[C]ly."

[CHORUS]
'Cause there's [C]no more water down...
No more water [C]down...
[F]No more water [C]down in the well,
[G]Honey, forget the [C]pail.

[VERSE 3]
[C]Everybody's tryin' to cheer me up.
Even gave me a [G]bottle of rye.
[G]Bottle of rye, mud in your eye,
Aint got the mud 'cause the [C]well is dry.
[C]My poor well is dry as a bone,
It's hayday has [G]come and gone.
[G]Come and gone, me oh my!
The day the well went [C]dry!

[CHORUS]
'Cause there's [C]no more water down...
No more water [C]down...
[F]No more water [C]down in the well,
[G]Honey, forget the [C]pail.
