Lyrics

ALL IS NOT WELL

My brother tried this first; he
Said it wouldn't hurt me.
It's a lonely kind of thirsty
Since he did desert me.

Oh, Mother, you had nursed me
When I was but a child.
Now, I have a new kind of thirsty;
My tongue is running wild.

Son, don't drink from that well!
The water is poisoned
As far as I can tell.
Son, don't drink from that well!
It draws all the boys in;
Then sends them down to Hell.

Oh, Father, I am so thirsty.
I feel dried up and dead.
If this water was cursed, he
Surely would have said.

Son, don't drink from that well!
The water is poisoned
As far as I can tell.
Son, don't drink from that well!
It draws all the boys in;
Then sends them down to Hell.

Our sons drank from that well
That draws all the boys in
And sends them down to Hell.
Our sons drank from that well,
And it sent them down to Hell.
