I have not a girl that's mine

I have not a friend

I have not got a place to live

Indeed it seems the end

But it ain't for me

As I've got myself which matters most

Throughout the life I lead



I have not a penny in my pocket and if soon

I should be found just as badly broken

I won't gloom

Cos it ain't me

As I've got myself which matters most

Throughout the life I lead



I have wandered into many a town

And have often been tempted to settle down

Yet if I did I'm sure I'd find

I'd always change my mind

So I'll keep right ahead with what I'm doing



Although I have no luxuries

My mind is quite at ease

It may seem medieval yet it's all that my heart pleads

And it ain't for me

Cos I've got myself which matters most

Throughout the life I lead
