1
Along crags and sunless cracks I go
2
Up rib of rock, down spine of stone
3
I dare not slumber where the right winds whistle
4
Lest her creeping soul clutch this heart of thistle
5
Oh the same God that abandoned her
6
Has in turn abandoned me
7
And softenin' the turf with with my tears
8
I dug a Well of Misery
9
And in that Well of Misery
10
Hangs a bucket full of sorrow
11
And it swings slow and achin' like a bell
12
And it's toll is dead and hollow
13
Oh down that well lies the long lost dress
14
Of my lil' floatin' girl
15
That muffles a tear that you let fall
16
All down the Well of Misery
17
Put shoulder to the handle if you dare
18
And hoist that bucket hither
19
Lord, crank and hoist and hoist and crank
20
Till you muscles waste and wither
21
And the same God that abandoned her
22
Has in turn abandoned me
23
Deep in the Desert of Despair
24
I wait at the Well of Misery
