My daddy used to tell me, "Don't be fooled by what you see"

If you want to get to the heart of things, you gotta look way down deep

Second place don't get it son a winner's gotta come in first

There's nothing worse than to take a drink that leaves you in the dirt

Dig, dig, dig a little deeper in the well boys

Dig a little deeper in the well

If you want a good cool drink of water

You gotta dig a little deeper in the well

A good man needs a good woman, she's the rock that will make you strong

Now she'll be there to lean on when the whole world's going wrong

Ain't nothing like good loving, that's how it's meant to be

Find yourself a good woman son like your mama's been to me

Dig, dig, dig a little deeper in the well boys

Dig a little deeper in the well

If you want a good cool drink of water

You gotta dig a little deeper in the well

There's a mighty river flowing where the water cool and sweet

Don't be fooled by a muddy stream, be careful where you drink

Life is what you make it, sometimes a living hell

If you want to find that promised land, dig a little deeper in the well

Dig, dig, dig a little deeper in the well boys

Dig a little deeper in the well

If you want a good cool drink of water

You gotta dig a little deeper in the well
