Oh I work hard in my younger days.
I work hard. And I'm still working hard.
If you laze around,
your body wastes away.
If you work hard, your muscles still going.
Bloods still flowing.
Just keep on moving.
I don't ride, I walk.
Keep on the move.
Keep on the move man.
Keep on the move.
Well, they call me Jesus,
Sandy,
Moe and Joe and...
You know, it's a whole lot of nicknames.
Oh, I ain't shaved for 44 years now.
I've been growing it and
it'd be almost down to my feet
if nobody keep cutting.
With the job I do,
it's with the bananas right.
It's every day and all year round.
There's a lot of work to be done.
Trim these leaves off.
Take the shells off it,
the old shells.
Like you change your old clothes.
Yeah, let them breathe.
Hard work, and it makes you tired.
A lot of people love St Helena bananas.
We don't use no sprays
and we don't use no fertilisers.
Everything is organic?
It's right? Yeah.
Everything is organic. Free.
You plant your trees.
They grow, you look after them,
and you'll have good bananas.
At the end of the day,
you've got to see what you've achieved.
It may take a month,
two months,
but you can see all the bananas swinging.
You reap what you sow.
I'm quite content with who I am,
and what I do.
I've got no regrets about anything, yeah.
I ain't dreaming about nothing.
I'm just living.
While I'm alive, do what I can.
So you just live to the fullest
and if you die, you die.
We don't know when it's going to happen.
Can be tomorrow, or just now, you know.
Well, if you're contended,
you're making yourself happy
with what you've got
and with what you do.
You've got to make your own self happy.
You can't look for someone else to do it, right.
What's in you, will come out you.
But what's not in you, won't come out you.
So you ain't gonna do it.
This is St Helena, we call ourselves Saints.
You got to just be a happy Saint, yeah.
