Dig Another Well Lyrics - Singles - Overstreet Paul

Well Ike had a blessing from the Lord up above 

He gave him a beautiful woman to love 

A place to live and some land to farm 

Two good legs and two good arms 

Well the devil came sneaking around one night 

Decided he would do a little evil to Ike 

Figured he would hit old Ike where it hurts 

so he filled up all of Ike's wells with dirt 

And when Ike went out for his morning drink 

He got a dipper full of dirt and his heart did sink 

But he knew it was the devil so he said with a grin 

God blessed me once and he can do it again 

He blessed me once and he can do it again 

So when the rains don't fall and the crops all fail 

And the cows ain't puttin' any milk in the pail 

Don't sit around waitin' for a check in the mail 

Just pick up the shovel and dig another well 

Pick up the shovel and dig another well 

Now me and old Ike got a lot in common 

The Lord blessed me with a beautiful woman 

He gave me a job he gave me a home 

He gave me a well to call my own 

Now when I go out for my morning drink 

And get a dipper full of dirt my heart does sink 

But I think of old Ike and I have to grin 

Cause God blessed me once and he can do it again 

He blessed me once and he can do it again 

When the rains don't fall and the crops all fail... 

[ guitar ] 

Well the good book says Ike finally won 

(Pick up the shovel dig another well) 

The devil got tired and he left him alone 

(Pick up the shovel dig another well) 

All I know someday I'm gonna win too 

(Pick up the shovel dig another well) 

Cause the good book tells me what to do 

(Pick up the shovel dig another well) 

Pick up the shovel and dig another well 

Pick up the shovel and dig another well 

Pick up the shovel and dig another well
