—R. Bowling & Martha Jo Emerson
Chorus:
Dig a little deeper in the well boys
Dig a little deeper in the well
If you want a good'n cool drink of water
You gotta dig a little deeper in the well (X2)
My daddy used to tell me, don't be fooled by what you see
If you want to get to the heart of things, you gotta look way down deep
Second place don't get it son, the winner's gotta come in first
There's nothing worse than to take a drink that leaves you with a thirst
Chorus
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 going wrong
There ain't nothing like good loving, that's how it's meant to be
So find yourself a good woman son like your mama's been to me
Chorus
There's a mighty river flowing, where the water's cool and sweet
Don't be fooled by a muddy stream, be careful where you drink
Life is what you make it, sometimes it's a living hell
If you want to find that promised land, dig a little deeper in the well
