[Charley Patton - Dry Well Blues lyrics]

Way down in Lula, hard livin' has done hit
Way down in Lula, hard livin' has done hit
Lord, your drought come an' caught us
An' parched up all the tree

Aw, she stays over in Lula
Bid that ol' town goodbye
Stays in Lula, bidding you the town goodbye
'Fore I would come to know the day, oh
The Lula well was gone dry

Lord, there're citizens around Lula, aw
Was doin' very well
Citizens around Lula, aw, was doin' very well
Now they're in hard luck together
'cause rain don't pour nowhere

I ain't got no money and I
Sure ain't got no hope
I ain't got no money and I
Sure ain't got no hope when I start coming

Crush all the cotton and tar

Boy, they tell me the country, Lord
It'll make you cry
Lord, country, Lord, it'll make you cry
Most anybody, Lord
Hasn't any water in the bayou

Lord, the Lula womens, Lord
Puttin' Lula young mens down
Lula men, oh, puttin' Lula men down
Lord, you outta been there, Lord
The womens all leavin' town
