Betty always knows
betty always tells
she laughing desperately
she said it felt like a river inside her bones
when she went down to the well

Gonna be with her
she is gonna take me there
lead me by my hand
her body a rocking chair for my soul

I can hardly wait, baby
I can hardly wait
'til we go down to the well
down to the well

Been thinking to myself
and if a life's not long
what matter does it make
if there'll be favorite songs playing in my head
when we go down to the well

I can hardly wait, betty
I can hardly wait
'till we go down to the well
down to the well
