Water in the Well lyrics

[YOUNG VI]
Mama, why's a man have eyes?
If I tell you, don't you tell –
So he can try you on for size
There's honey in the bushes, Lord
And water in the well

[VIOLET]
A battered nose, a pimpled chin –
Uneven eyes to take it in

[YOUNG VI]
Mama, why's a man have hands?
If I tell you, don't you tell –
Go ask your beau, he understands
There's honey in the bushes, Lord
And water in the well

[VIOLET]
I have to start the Preacher on the scar
That cuts a rainbow clear across my cheek

[YOUNG VI]
There's honey in the bushes, Lord
And water in the well
[LEROY, spoken]
Roscoe! Leroy's got a hambone with your name on it. You going someplace, Violet?
