[Chorus]
Well, dig a little deeper in the well, boys
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good, cool drink of water
You better dig a little deeper in the well
Oh, dig a little deeper in the well, boys
Dig a little deeper in the well
Well, you need a good, cool drink of water
You better dig a little deeper in the well

[Verse 1]
Well, my Papa used to tell me
Don't be fooled by things you see
If you wanna get at the heart of things
You gotta dig way down deep
Yeah, sеcond place don't get it, son
The winnеr gotta come in first
There ain't nothin' worse but takin' a drink
That leaves you with a thirst

[Chorus]
Oh, dig a little deeper in the well, boys
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good, cool drink of water
You better dig a little deeper in the well
Oh, dig a little deeper in the well, boys
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good, cool drink of water
You better dig a little deeper in the well
[Instrumental Break]
(Come on, Michael)
(Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Well, a good man needs a good woman
She's the rock that'll make him strong
She'll be there to lean on
When the whole world's done him wrong
There ain't nothin' like good lovin'
Man, it's the way it was meant to be
You better find you a woman that'll be good to you
Like your mama's been to me

[Chorus]
Oh, dig a little deeper in the well, boys
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good, cool drink of water
You better dig a little deeper in the well
Oh, dig a little deeper in the well, boys
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good, cool drink of water
You better dig a little deeper in the well

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
There's a mighty river flowin'
And there's water that's cool and sweet
Don't you be fooled by a muddy stream
Be careful where you drink
Said life is what you make it
Sometimes it's a livin' hell
And if you wanna get to the Promised Land
You better dig a little deeper in the well

[Chorus]
Said dig a little deeper in the well, boys
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good, cool drink of water
You better dig a little deeper in the well
Oh, dig a little deeper in the well, boys
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good, cool drink of water
You better dig a little deeper in the well
