LYRICS

Well Water

During the hot time of day
during the noon-time of the day
we sat in a tent – that time of day

During the hot time of day
not a breath of fresh air stirred
Even the well water was barely cold

and if the water sat for a while in a pail
it was hardly drinkable

So, we had to draw fresh water
frequently

Uncle Hans

During this time a new well was discovered – at this time

and this well had sweet sweet water – swee well

But sand had collected at the bottom of the water – sandy well

Someone must go down into the well to take out the sand with a bucket

People wondered who would go down the well to take out the sand in a bucket

Uncle Hans was chosen by the village – Uncle Hans

So they lowered him down with a rope and a bucket – Uncle Hans

But a terrible thing, the rope wasn’t strong enough 0 something terrible happened!

Uncle Hans, he was close to the the top – but CRASHED to the bottom of the well.

How he was brought out we’ll never know

but he had a very complicated fracture.

How he survived, we’ll never know,

but – later – they amputated part of his leg

because of a complicated fracture.

Uncle Hans, they gave a plot in the village – to Uncle Hans

Was a little plot they gave him in the village – Uncle Hans

They built a little farm on his plot in the village – Uncle Hans

He married Aunt Marichen and they had a little daughter – Uncle Hans

And they wrote about his life in a book about the village – Uncle Hans

and his story loves on in the book about the village – Uncle Hans
