Dry Well Blues

When I livin' in Lula, I was livin' at ease
 When I livin' in Lula, I was livin' at ease
 Lord, your drought come an' caught us, an' parched up all the trees
 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
 Ctizens around Lula, aw, was doin' very well
 Now they're all in hard luck together, 'cause rain don't pour nowhere
 I ain't got no money and I sure ain't got no hope
 Lord I ain't got no money and I sure ain't got no hope
 The old weather done come in, parched all the cotton and corn
 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
