Recorded by Hank Snow



Oh you can't be mislead by a name it is said

You can't judge a book by it's cover

And how one can tell what is down in a well

Is a thing I have yet to discover



CHORUS

Oh down in the well-a, deep in the well-a, how deep, oh I couldn't tell-a

Born into rumours that's running around

Down in the well-a, deep in the a well-a, wish in the well-a, trust in the well-a

And your true love, your true love may be found



Oh you may not believe, this tale it be true

And scoff at the well as you go by

But if you don't own a love of your own

One day you may peak in and try



CHORUS

Oh down in the well-a, deep in the well-a, how deep, oh I couldn't tell-a

Born into rumours that's running around

Down in the well-a, deep in the a well-a, wish in the well-a, trust in the well-a

And your true love, your true love may be found



This story is old, this story was told

To me when a very young man

Back when I didn't own a love of my own

But now I'm a family man



CHORUS

Oh down in the well-a, deep in the well-a, how deep, oh I couldn't tell-a

Born into rumours that's running around

Down in the well-a, deep in the a well-a, wish in the well-a, trust in the well-a

And your true love, your true love may be found

And your true love, your true love may be found
