Strum
D-DU-UDU
Let's  go to Leroy's  in the fall
Let's  take the back  road
Find  a stone to kick  along the way
Maybe tomorrow  go to town
Maybe tomorrow
Much  too high and it's
Much  too fine today
Won't  you bring me some water  from the well
If  you're going on down
Ellie  Mae holler  to Elijah
Go  on momma rest  your eyes
This  ain't no time to cry
Elijah's  listening to the Rolling  Stones
 and the well's  gone dry
Them  chickens in the garden  rows again
Just  a picken' at the bean  pole
Curley's  been chasin them birds  around all  day
Maybe  a little rain  blowin in
Wind's  are pickin up, the bedclothes
Grandma's  a grillin' but she  ain't got much to say
Won't  you bring me some water  from the well
If  you're going on down
Ellie  Mae holler  to Elijah
Go  on momma rest  your eyes
This  ain't no time to cry
Elijah's  listening to the Rolling  Stones
 and the well's  gone dry
 the well's  gone dry
 May the music  of Ray Lamontagne  live on for all! - MRG
