when you play this.
Ike had a lesson from the Lord up above
He gave him a beautiful woman to love
A place to live, and some land to farm
Two good legs and two good arms
Well, the Devil came sneaking around one night
Decided he would do a little evil to Ike
Figured he hit old Ike where it'd hurt
So he filled up all of Ike's wells with dirt
When Ike came out for his morning drink
He got a dipper full of dirt and his heart did sink
But he knew it was the Devil, so he said with a grin
"God blessed me once and He can do it again
He blessed me once and He can do it again."
So when the rain won't come and the crops all fail
The cows ain't putting any milk in the pail
Don't sit around waiting for a check in the mail
Just pick up your shovel and dig another well
Pick up your shovel and dig another well
Now me and old Ike's got a lot in common
