From the Well No More

Don't go drinking from the well
no more
Mama done said the water'll kill ya for sure
Don't go walking through the open field
They sprayed our crops, you're sure to get ill
Papa's so tired
he just stays in bed
And I keep thinking about what my grandpa said
He said you just can't beat this country life
But it's sure beating us and it don't seem right
Don't go swimming in the river bed
The water's turned green and the fish are all dead
There's a barrel of poison it's leaking away
I heard 'em talk about it yesterday
Papa's so tired
he just stays in bed
And I keep thinking about what my grandpa said
He said you just can't beat this country life
But it's sure beating us and it don't seem right
Don't go drinking from the well no
more
Don't go walking in the open field
Don't go swimming in the river bed
