Water In The Well lyrics

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
