Lyrics
Water's tastin' funny
Can't quite place the smell
Looks all brown and funky
Like a evil spell
The well cover's off and a sheep's AWOL
Pappy get the tractor, we got a sheep down in the well
Well Pappy got the tractor
Rope went over the side
He said,"Son your'e goin down
Soon as I get this tied"
Got down to the bottom
Didn't have much room
That sheep was all swoll up
like a big ol' mushroom
I tied the rope around it and I
Climbed out of that hell
We fired up the tractor
And pulled that sheep out of the well
Got it to the top
And it flopped out on the ground
It lay there drippin' and makin' squishy sounds
We rolled it into the bucket and dumped it out over the bank
A couple weeks later, man you shoulda smelled the stank
