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
