Lyrics

(Traditional, arr. the alabama singers)

Jesus met the woman at the well
Jesus met the woman at the well
And he told her, everything that she'd done, that she'd done

And he said, woman, look-a here woman
Tell me where is your husband?
She said whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I don't have one

He said, woman, look-a here woman
They tell me you have five husbands
And that man you have now sure ain't one

She went running, crying, god help me
She said whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you must be the prophet
Because you told me everything that I've done
