[Verse 1]
The crops are bendin' in the summer heat
A brawl broke out down on Dixon street
A fighter braggin' that he can't be beat
Young boy rose up and he knocked out his teeth

[Verse 2]
Now there's a devil in this little town
Can't stop the rumors from spreadin' around
They don't realize their words do them harm
There was murder down at the Jackson's farm

[Chorus]
You talk so loud
Just let me speak
You look so proud
So just go to sleep
You're lookin' down
But the well is deep
Comin' out of the ground
Black water to drink

[Verse 3]
He had a motive and no alibi
Nobody saw him with their own two eyes
Thе shadow outlined a perfect pair
Two bodiеs found at the county fair
[Chorus]
You talk so loud
Just let me speak
You look so proud
So just go to sleep
You're lookin' down
But the well is deep
Comin' out of the ground
Black water to drink

[Chorus]
You talk so loud
Just let me speak
You look so proud
So just go to sleep
You're lookin' down
But the well is deep
Comin' out of the ground
Black water to drink
You talk so loud
You've lost your mind in the heat
You look so proud
The bloody fighter was beat
You're lookin' down
But the well is deep
Comin' out of the ground
Black water to drink
