[Verse 1]
Babe, there's no water in the well
Babe, there's no water in the well

Babe, I can't find a vein
I'm digging and I'm digging, I got the shaft again
[Instrumental Break]

Little cloud, little cloud way up in the air

[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

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
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
