You dug a well, you dug it deep
  For every wife you buried you planted a cedar tree
  The best, the best you ever had
  
  I stand where you stood, I stand for bad or good
  And I am green and you are wood
  The best, the best he ever had
  
  I dig a well, I dig it deep
  And for my only love I plant a cedar tree
  The best, the best we ever had
