Lyric Water In The Well

there s water in the well
and the gate is always open
there s wood out in the shed
and the chimney s always smokin
the kettle s on the boil now and
won t you stay for tea
and help us with the garden
and we ll help you rake your leaves

money doesn t talk in this neighbourhood
a healthy bank account won t do you no good
hey neighbour i ve seen tha done before
you scratch my back and i ll scratch yours

there s water in the well
and the gate is always open
there s wood out in the shed
and the chimney s always smokin
the kettle s on the boil now and
won t you stay for tea
and help us with the garden
and we ll help you rake your leaves

and cut the children s hair
before we go to the quilting bee

rise and shine what a glorious day
we re learning about living in the natural way
we re all mother nature s children
daughters and sons
our numbers are many, but we all live as one

buy a few acres do your own excavation
lay down the forms, build up the foundation
i ll gladly lend a hand if you need me brother
cause we are only wealthy through each other

our roads are dirt and our highways are gravel
we re self sufficient folks here
ther s no need to travel
the water is clear the earth is chemical free
we re all safe in our community... nuclear free

there s water in the well
and the gate is always open
there s wood out in the shed
and the chimney s always smokin
the kettle s on the boil now and
won t you stay for tea
and help us with the garden
and we ll help you rake your leaves

i ll loan you my guitar
if i can watch your colour TV
