Water in the Well Lyrics

YOUNG VI:
Mama, why's a man have eyes?
If I tell you , don't you tell -
So he can try you on for size
There's honey in the bushes, Lord
And water in the well

VIOLET:
A battered nose, a pimpled chin,
Uneven eyes to take it in

YOUNG VI:
Mama, why's a man have hands?
If I tell you, don't you tell -
Go ask your beau, he understands
There's honey in the bushes, Lord
And water in the well

VIOLET:
I have to start the Preacher on the scar
That cuts a rainbow clear across my cheek

YOUNG VI:
There's honey in the bushes, Lord,
And water in the well-

LEROY:
Roscoe! Leroy's got a hambone with your name on it! You going someplace, Violet?
