When the Well Runs Dry

Well Scatalin Farm got a brand new mule Everybody hope it kick him in the head He led you by a rope, played you for a fool I know what it means to break another man's bread Come harvest moon you're gonna feast for days A-come winter storm you gotta set some by The more you gets, the more you pays Whatcha gonna do when the well runs dry Now Hobart Smith shot the Anderson dog Then Beau Anderson burned his whole house down We're gonna see him swing, we're picking out a log Waitin' for the hanging judge to roll back into town A-come harvest moon you're gonna feast for days A-come winter storm you gotta set some by The more you gets, the more you pays Whatcha gonna do when the well runs dry I heard Ha Ha Jones got a shipment in Gonna stop by for a social call The whole town's gone blind on his bathtub gin But nobody seems to mind at all A-come harvest moon you're gonna feast for days A-come winter storm you gotta set some by The more you gets, the more you pays Whatcha gonna do when the well runs dry Sally MacAuley got a heart of gold She loves me sore and there ain't no doubt Her new husband is eighty-six years old We're gonna be rich when his heart gives out A-come harvest moon you're gonna feast for days A-come winter storm you gotta set some by The more you gets, the more you pays Whatcha gonna do when the well runs dry The more you gets, the more you pays Whatcha gonna do when the well runs dry Whatcha gonna do when the well runs dry Whatcha gonna do when the well runs dry Whatcha gonna do when the well runs dry
