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

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, second place don't get it, son, a winner gotta come in first
There ain't nothin' worse than takin' a drink that leaves you with the thirst"

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

Come on, Michael
Yeah

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 does him wrong
There ain't nothin' like good lovin', man, it's the way it is meant to be
You better find you a woman that'll dig up to you like your mama's been to me

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

Alright, Ronnie

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

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
