From the recording Live in Germany
Lyrics
There ain't no water in the well
There ain't no water in the well
Least as far as I can tell
There ain't no water in the well
There ain't no whiskey in the jar
There ain't no whiskey in the jar
These times are tough these times are hard
There ain't no whiskey in the jar
There ain't no money for the rent
There ain't no money for the rent
What we saved has all been spent
There ain't no money for the rent
We're heading to the west
To the land, to the land, to the land of the blest
Where the milk runs and the honey flows
And the oranges grow by the side of the road
There ain't no gas left in this car
There ain't no gas left in this car
And we have yet to go so far
There ain't no gas left in this car
And we are hungry, we are thin
We are hungry, we are thin
Tired as we've ever been
We are hungry, we are thin
There ain't no work left in these fields
There ain't no work left in these fields
It's such a bitter crop we yield
There ain't no work left in these fields
There ain't no mercy in this place
There ain't no mercy in this place
There ain't one single saving grace
There ain't no mercy in this place
We're heading to the west
To the land, to the land, to the land of the blest
Where the milk runs and the honey flows
And the oranges grow by the side of the road
We are angry but we're slow
Yes we are angry but we're slow
Maybe someday you'll come to know
That what you reap yes you will sow
Cause we are grapes upon the vine
We are grapes upon the vine
And we will ripen in our time
We will ripen in our time
We will ripen in our time
