Down at the Bottom of the Well

by The Hecateae

We know that he's stuck there, but how did he ever get in?

While the concept of this song does belong to me, the chorus and title belong to Robert Jordan.

Down at the Bottom of a Well

A word of warning I'll impart to you

There are some things one should never do.

To dandle a lass is all fine and fun

But if she has a brother you had better run

I'm standing at the bottom of a well.

It's raining, and the sides are falling in

And there's no rope to climb

I'm standing at the bottom of a well.

If that fine situation you cannot avoid,

Then neck deep in trouble you'll happen to be

So flee, quickly flee, out into the night

But watch where you're going lest you end up like me.

I'm standing at the bottom of a well.

It's raining, and the sides are falling in

And there's no rope to climb

I'm standing at the bottom of a well.

Her brother, it seemed gave a Light of a chase

And upon my misfortune, laughed loud to my face.

He stood by and watched as the walls tumbled down

And promised to place a stone on my grave.

I'm standing at the bottom of a well.

It's raining, and the sides are falling in

And there's no rope to climb

I'm standing at the bottom of a well.

The water is rising,

The water is risng,

Soon I'll be drowned in my watery grave.
