Tom Waits - Ain't Goin' Down To The Well Lyrics

Tom Waits Lyrics

"Ain't Goin' Down To The Well"

Ain't goin' down
Ain't goin' down
Mama to the well
Mama to the well
Mama to the well
Mama to the well no more

Ain't goin' down
Ain't goin' down
Mama to the well
Mama to the well
Mama to the well
Mama to the well no more
Ain't goin' down

I'm a true believer
I'm a true believer
Believer

Ain't goin' down
Ain't goin' down
Mama to the well
Mama to the well
Mama to the well
Mama to the well no more
Ain't goin' down
Ain't goin' down

If I ever get able
If I ever get able, able
To pay this debt I owe

Ain't goin' down
I ain't goin' down
Mama to the well
Mama to the well
Mama to the well no more

Ain't goin' down
Mama to the well
Mama to the well
Mama to the well
Mama to the well
Mama to the well no more
Ain't goin' down
Ain't goin' down
Ain't goin' down
Ain't goin' down
