Dave’s quiet, powerful take on a Gospel standard. He likely learned it from his hero, Rev. Gary Davis, a prominent Gospel figure who acted as Dave’s teacher for a time.
Well, Jesus met the woman at the well, my lord,
Jesus met the woman at the well, my lord,
Jesus met the woman at the well, my lord,
And he told her everything she'd ever done.
He said, "Woman, woman, where is your husband?
Woman, woman, where is your husband?
Woman, woman, where is your husband?"
And she told him, "Oh, lord, I have none."
He said, "Woman, woman, you have five husbands,
Woman, woman, you have five husbands,
Woman, woman, you have five husbands,
And the one you have now is not your own."
She said, "This man, this man, he must be a prophet,
This man, this man, he must be a prophet,
This man, this man, he must be a prophet,
He has told me everything I've ever done."
Well, Jesus met the woman at the well, my lord,
Jesus met the woman at the well, my lord,
Jesus met the woman at the well, my lord,
And he told her everything she'd ever done.
