Who Threw The Whiskey In The Well

Who Threw the Whiskey in the Well -Wynonie Harris

It was an early Sunday morning

And the church was crowded full

Old elder brown was raven

He was angry as a bull

The congregation sensed it

And they knew just what he meant

When he said my text today is

You sinners must repent

Who threw the whisky in the well in the well

Who threw the whisky in the well in the well

'Cause Deacon Jones knelt down to pray

All he said was hey hey

So who threw the whisky in the well in the well

Now who threw the whisky in the well in the well

Who threw the whisky in the well in the well

I'm feelin'mighty fine

I'm high as Georgia Pine

So who threw the whisky in the well

In the well

Who threw the whisky in the well in the well

Who threw the whisky in the well in the well

Keep you dippers out of that well

Or we all wind up in well

Who threw the whisky in the well

That's what I'd like to know

Well sisters and brothers

I'm taking my leave thee

Every time I show you the light

And you all live outside of me

Since Brother Jones brought his bone

And Sister Ash has all the cash

Let's get together drink water get tall

Come on children let's have a ball
