Intro
Let's go to Leroy's in the fall
Let's take the back road
Find a stone to kick along the way
Maybe tomorrow go to town
Maybe tomorrow
Much too high and it's
Much too fine today
Won't you bring me some water from the well
If you're going on down
Ellie Mae holler to Elijah
Go on momma rest your eyes
This ain't no time to cry
Elijah's listening to the Rolling Stones
and the well's gone dry
Them chickens in the garden rows again
Just a picken' at the bean pole
Curley's been chasin them birds around all day
Maybe a little rain blowin in
Wind's are pickin up, the bedclothes
Grandma's a grillin' but she ain't got much to say
Won't you bring me some water from the well
If you're going on down
Ellie Mae holler to Elijah
Go on momma rest your eyes
This ain't no time to cry
Elijah's listening to the Rolling Stones
and the well's gone dry
the well's gone dry
May the music of Ray Lamontagne live on for all! - MRG
