Well (oh well)

Very well, very well

Old uncle Ben him have two goats In the pen

A bucket of milk for his wife and his children

The meditations of his heart is on Jah commandments

Him no have no problem (No problem)

'Cause he only wants to work for his own

River road him broke rob store

Family love will welcome home

All wrong doings him leave that alone

'Cause the keys to contentment is a clear clean conscience

Know where you going and who are your friends

'Cause the door to contentment is confidence in yourself

Use what you’ve got, your soul is gifted

Very well (Oh well)

Grand, auntie, girlie, ain’t got much you see really

And she’s not so strong and hearty as used to be

Gone is the tax collector, now here comes the missionary

Gave her a word of prayer, but it was not for free

Just like a dog in search of a bone, he took all she had left her alone How can she make bread out of stone?

That kind of evil Jah won’t condone

'Cause the keys to contentment is a clear clean conscience

Know where you going and who are your friends

'Cause the door to contentment is confidence in yourself

Use what you’ve got, your soul is gifted

You can be happy and your heart set free

The fact of the matter is you are not guilty

And in times of drought a hand full of corn is waiting

Down in the barn

I build this house myself It is safe and warm

You see I only want to work for my own

River road I broke rob store

Family love welcomes me home

All the wrongdoings I leave that alone!

'Cause the keys to contentment is a clear clean conscience

Know where you going and who are your friends

'Cause the door to contentment is confidence in yourself

Use what you’ve got, your soul is gifted

Oh very well, so very well

Oh yes, my friends
