This is a song by William Bell from his album "The Soul of a Bell."
Subsequently, it was covered by the Byrds in a country version on
"Sweetheart of the Rodeo" and by Otis Redding on "Otis Blue." I can't
connect to alt.music.byrds but if someone else wants to send it there,
that's cool.
[Intro]
G C G
[First Verse]
Em G
In the beginning, you really loved me
C G
But I was blind, and I could not see
Em C
But when you left me, oh how I cried
G
You don't miss your water
D G
Till your well runs dry
[Break]
[Second Verse]
I was a playboy, I could not be true
I didn't believe, I really loved you
But when you left me, oh how I cried
You don't miss your water
Till your well runs dry
[Repeat First Verse]
