Johnny and the Well

Oh My Darlin' whence you came

Shouting little Johnny's name

Oh My Darlin' whence you came

Shouting little Johnny's name

I was sittin' on the well

I was sittin' on the well

On such a bright and golden day

Hush your cryin' what'd'ya say

Such a bright and golden day

Hush your cryin' what'd'ya say

I was sittin' on the well

I was sittin' on the well

I was sittin' on the well

I been sittin' at the well all day

Waiting for the rain to come

To fill up the well again

Johnny walked out in the street

A car came by he didn't see

Johnny walked out in the street

A car came by he didn't see

I was sittin' on the well

I was sittin' on the well

On a cold and rainy day

We laid Johnny's bones away

On that cold and rainy day

We laid Johnny's bones away

I went back to the well

Yeah, I went back to the well

Yeah, I went back to the well

I went back to the well that day

Watching all the raindrops fall

To fill up the well again

Threw a stone into the hole

Waited for the sound below

Threw a stone into the hole

Yeah, no sound came from the well

No sound came from the well

Yeah, no sound came from the well

I been sittin' at the well all day

Watching all the raindrops fall

The water fills the well and we all say hey

The same rain fell on Johnny's grave
