(Sam Hopkins)  Never miss your water, water  Till your well run dry  Never miss your water, water  Till your well run dry  You know you never miss your little woman  Until she says goodbye  Whoa, you know I'm my papa's baby  I'm my mama's baby child  You know I'm my papa's baby  Oh, mama's baby child  Whoa, you know you never miss your water  Lord, until your well go dry  You know I've been wonderin'  What makes a well run dry?  Whoa, you know I've been wonderin', wonderin'  Oh, boy what makes a well run dry?  You know that's when the earth  Done settle down on the water  Ain't no more water passing by
