In the garden of righteousness,
Where to weep is to learn;
There the wicked is no contest. (no contest)
We conquer them all!
Jah don't spare the rod, so the man can't spoil.
Jah don't spare the rod, so the man can't spoil.

In the garden of wickedness,
You reap what you sow;
There the youths should dare not go.
Remember what you been told!

Jah don't spare the rod, so the man can't spoil.
(Jah don't spare the rod, so the man can't spoil)
Jah don't spare the rod, so the man can't spoil.
(Jah don't spare the rod, so the man can't spoil)

In the garden of fruitfulness,
You plant and it grows, yeh!
There death is of no threat,
Life ever flows.

Jah don't spare the rod, so the man can't spoil.
(Jah don't spare the rod, so the man can't spoil)
Jah don't spare the rod, so the man can't spoil.
(Jah don't spare the rod, so the man can't spoil)

In the garden of happiness,
Where life is at its best; (ha, ha, ha, ha)
Despair is far from near.
I'm free from all material cares!

Jah don't spare the rod, so the man can't spoil.
(Jah don't spare the rod)
Jah never spare the rod, so the man can't spoil.
(Jah don't spare the rod, Jah don't, Jah don't)

In the garden of righteousness, (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Where to weep is to learn;
There the wicked is no contest. (no contest)
We've conquered them all!

Jah don't spare the rod, so the man can't spoil.
(Jah don't spare the rod, so the man can't spoil)
Jah don't spare the rod, so the man can't spoil.
(Jah don't spare the rod, so the man can't spoil)

Jah don't spare the rod, so the man can't spoil.
(Jah don't spare the rod so the man can't spoil)
Jah don't spare the rod, so the man can't spoil.
(Jah don't spare the rod)

Never spare your rod from me.
(Jah don't spare the rod)
Never spare your rod from me.
(Jah don't spare the rod so the man can't spoil)

Jah never spare that rod from me!
(Jah don't spare the rod so the man can't spoil)
I need it desperately now!
Never, never, never.
