SATURDAY SONG DAY || Dig a Little Deeper in the Well

I was listening to a compilation CD of Doc Martin and heard this song. It had an old time charm to it and I decided that I want to add it to my Playlist Binder. This song is best known for it's version by The Oakridge Boys which uses a lot of harmonies -- but I choose to use the bluesman Eric Bibb's version since I normally sing alone.

"Dig" can be sung once if your not doing the harmonies.
