Текст (слова) песни: Bobby Bare - Bottomless Well

(Shel Silverstein)

They say there he sits in his big white wicker rocker
Eatin` candy coated cashews sippin` orange lemonade
While a sweet young thing fans the flies from off his eyebrows
He`s dozin` in the green catalpa shade
Lord, they say that Jesse Langtree`s got it made.

A little bit south of the Okechobee
There`s a story that the swamp folks tell
About a mean old man named Jesse Langtree
And a sweet young maid and a bottomless well.

That water`s cold but that don`t matter
How deep it is no one can tell
Just drop a stone you`ll never hear it splatter
It just falls down, down forever in the bottomless well.

Through fifteen miles of snakes and gators
With the raging fever and the trembling chills
I wandered lost through the Okechobee
And there I seen `em sittin` there by the bottomless well.

Yeah now there he sits in his big white wicker rocker
Eatin` candy coated cashews sippin` orange lemonade
While a sweet young thing fans the flies from off his eyebrows
He`s dozin` in the green catalpa shade
Lord, they say that Jesse Langtree`s got it made.

(Oh let`s hear it for Jesse now, hey Jesse.)

I asked her for a drink of water
And as Jesse slept me and her we talked a spell
She said that she was his wife and daughter, Lord, Lord
But his heart was cold, cold and dark as the bottomless well.

And as he slept I bent to kiss her
I heard a loud and jealous yell
Felt my head explode in darkness two big hairy arms picked me up
And dragged me to the bottomless well.

I woke up in fear and trembling
I was staring down into the jaws of hell
As he held me high above his shoulders
A gonna throw me down, down, down to the bottomless well.

Now here I sit in Jesse`s big white wicker rocker
Eatin` his candy coated cashews sippin` his orange lemonade
While that sweet young thing fans the flies from off my eyebrows
I`m dozin` in the green catalpa shade
Enjoying things that Jesse Langtree made.

Oh, God bless you Jesse.

Now some folks say that sweet thing pushed him
But I was there and I`d swear he fell
But it ain`t murder cause he ain`t dead cause he`s still a fallin`
Goin` down, down forever in the bottomless well.

Goin` down, down, down, down, down, bye Jesse...
