Way Down Yonder
Way down yonder in the well
A secret I'll never tell
Way down yonder in the well
The son of a dynasty
I made it far from the tree
The wayward son of a dynasty
Fell for a girl in the town
Lived on a road Daddy didn't go down
Fell for a girl in the town
She wore a lily-white dress
Her dark skin it did caress
She wore a lily-white dress
Down at the courthouse square
We let 'em all stop and stare
Down at the courthouse square
(Hey)
He was a friend of mine
'Til the words he said broke heart and mind
He was an old friend of mine
It ain't just sticks and stones
Some words cut right to the bone
It ain't just sticks and stones
I found him in the light of the moon
And my 44 hammered out a tune
'Til blood ran black in the light
Moon
Danced by the light of the moon
While sharecroppers sang a working tune
Two young lovers bound in the light
Moon
Way down yonder in the well
Secret I'll never tell
Way down yonder in the well
A secret I'll never tell
Way down yonder in the well
The son of a dynasty
I made it far from the tree
The wayward son of a dynasty
Fell for a girl in the town
Lived on a road Daddy didn't go down
Fell for a girl in the town
She wore a lily-white dress
Her dark skin it did caress
She wore a lily-white dress
Down at the courthouse square
We let 'em all stop and stare
Down at the courthouse square
(Hey)
He was a friend of mine
'Til the words he said broke heart and mind
He was an old friend of mine
It ain't just sticks and stones
Some words cut right to the bone
It ain't just sticks and stones
I found him in the light of the moon
And my 44 hammered out a tune
'Til blood ran black in the light
Moon
Danced by the light of the moon
While sharecroppers sang a working tune
Two young lovers bound in the light
Moon
Way down yonder in the well
Secret I'll never tell
Way down yonder in the well
