Bone Dry - Original Mono - Louis Jordan

Oh, there isn’t any water

There isn’t any water

There isn’t any water in the well

Oh, the ground is mighty dry

Not a cloud up in the sky

There ain’t no water in the well

Bone dry, bone dry

Everything at home is bone dry

Dry as a bone (Bone dry)

Dry as a bone (Bone dry)

Everything at home is bone dry

Take a bucket down the road, take a bucket down the road

A bucket down the road, little Nell

Go ahead, my little daughter

Try to steal the neighbor’s water

'Cause there ain’t no water in the well

Bone dry, bone dry

Everything at home is bone dry

Dry as a bone (Bone dry)

Dry as a bone (Bone dry)

Everything at home is bone dry

Oh, there ain’t no use in tryin', there ain’t no use in tryin'

There ain’t no use in tryin', little Nell

There ain’t no use in tryin'

I hear the neighbors cryin'

'Cause there ain’t no water in the well

Bone dry, bone dry

Everything at home is bone dry

Dry as a bone (Bone dry)

Dry as a bone (Bone dry)

Everything at home is dry as a bone (Bone dry)

We better start a-prayin', we better start a-prayin'

We better start a-prayin', little Nell

Oh, we better start a-prayin' for the Lord to start a-rainin'

There ain’t no water in the well

Bone dry, bone dry

Everything at home is bone dry

Dry as a bone (Bone dry)

Dry as a bone (Bone dry)

Everything at home is bone dry

Bone, bone dry

Bone, bone dry

Everything at home is bone, bone dry
