Lyrics

[00:00.00] Who Threw the Whiskey in the Well -Wynonie Harris
[00:23.780] It was an early Sunday morning
[00:26.598] And the church was crowded full
[00:29.618] Old elder brown was raven
[00:32.621] He was angry as a bull
[00:35.649] The congregation sensed it
[00:38.336] And they knew just what he meant
[00:41.201] When he said my text today is
[00:44.164] You sinners must repent
[00:47.612] Who threw the whisky in the well in the well
[00:53.197] Who threw the whisky in the well in the well
[00:57.959] 'Cause Deacon Jones knelt down to pray
[01:01.119] All he said was hey hey
[01:03.818] So who threw the whisky in the well in the well
[01:09.546] Now who threw the whisky in the well in the well
[01:16.162] Who threw the whisky in the well in the well
[01:21.305] I'm feelin'mighty fine
[01:24.158] I'm high as Georgia Pine
[01:26.893] So who threw the whisky in the well
[01:30.977] In the well
[01:56.804] Who threw the whisky in the well in the well
[02:02.388] Who threw the whisky in the well in the well
[02:07.470] Keep you dippers out of that well
[02:10.374] Or we all wind up in well
[02:13.824] Who threw the whisky in the well
[02:17.421] That's what I'd like to know
[02:20.202] Well sisters and brothers
[02:22.561] I'm taking my leave thee
[02:25.764] Every time I show you the light
[02:27.966] And you all live outside of me
[02:30.688] Since Brother Jones brought his bone
[02:33.523] And Sister Ash has all the cash
[02:36.299] Let's get together drink water get tall
[02:39.651] Come on children let's have a ball
