Lyrics

Blues for Skip

[Verse 1]

Babe, there's no water in the well

Babe, there's no water in the well

I got a funny feeling we're in for quite a spell

[Verse 2]

Babe, I can't find a vein

Babe, I can't find a vein

I'm digging and I'm digging, I got the shaft again

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Little cloud, little cloud way up in the air

Little cloud, little cloud way up in the air

Well, I just ain't receiving, little cloud's moved on somewhere

[Verse 4]

Babe, there's no water in the well

Babe, there's no water in the well

I'm digging and I'm digging
