Dig Another Well
Paul Overstreet

Well Ike had a blessing from the Lord up above

He gave him a beautiful woman to love

A place to live and some land to farm

Two good legs and two good arms



Well the devil came sneakinG around one night

Decided he would do a little evil to Ike

Figured he would hit old Ike where it hurts

So he filled up all of Ike's wells with dirt



And when Ike went out for his morning drink

He got a dipper full of dirt and his heart did sink

But he knew it was the devil so he said with a grin

God blessed me once and he can do it again.

He blessed me once and he can do it again.



So when the rains don't fall and the crops all fail

And the cows ain't puttin' any milk in the pail

Don't sit around waitin' for a check in the mail

Just pick up the shovel and dig another well.

Pick up the shovel and dig another well.



Now me and old Ike got a lot in common

The Lord blessed me with a beautiful woman

He gave me a job he gave me a home

He gave me a well to call my own.



Now when I go out for my morning drink

And get a dipper full of dirt my heart does sink

But I think of old Ike and I have to grin

Cause God blessed me once and he can do it again.

He blessed me once and he can do it again.



When the rains don't fall and the crops all fail...

And the cows ain't puttin' any milk in the pail

Don't sit around waitin' for a check in the mail

Just pick up the shovel and dig another well.

Pick up the shovel and dig another well.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, the good book says Ike finally won

(Pick up the shovel dig another well)

The devil got tired and he left him alone

(Pick up the shovel dig another well)

All I know someday I'm gonna win too

(Pick up the shovel dig another well)

'Cause the good book tells me what to do

(Pick up the shovel dig another well)

Pick up the shovel and dig another well.



Pick up the shovel and dig another well.

Pick up the shovel and dig another well...
