Oh I have been a beggar

And shall be one again

And few the ones with help to lend

Within the world of men



One day I walk in flowers

one day I walk on stones

Today I walk in hours

One day I shall be home



I have sat on the street corner

And watched the bootheels shine

And cried out glad and cried out sad

With every voice but mine



One day I walk in flowers

one day I walk on stones

Today I walk in hours

One day I shall be home

One day I shall be home
