When I was a little boy, as little as a boy could be | |
when I was a little boy my mother always told me: | |
Never sail around the world and never leave your luck behind | |
Never sail around the world, stay down where you belong, boy | |
When I was a little lad, as little as a lad could be | |
When I was a little lad my father always told me: | |
Never live your life at ease and never let your deal go down | |
Never live your life at ease, stay down where you belong, boy | |
When I was a busy clerk, as busy as a clerk could be | |
When I was a busy clerk my master always told me: | |
Never loaf through life at peace, never settle down to it | |
Never loaf through life at peace, stay down where you belong, boy | |
Now I am a foreign man as foreign as a man could be | |
Now I am a foreign man, a stranger in my own life | |
I never roamed around the world, I never let my deal go down | |
I never spent my life at ease, don′t know where I belong, boy |
When I was a little boy, as little as a boy could be | |
when I was a little boy my mother always told me: | |
Never sail around the world and never leave your luck behind | |
Never sail around the world, stay down where you belong, boy | |
When I was a little lad, as little as a lad could be | |
When I was a little lad my father always told me: | |
Never live your life at ease and never let your deal go down | |
Never live your life at ease, stay down where you belong, boy | |
When I was a busy clerk, as busy as a clerk could be | |
When I was a busy clerk my master always told me: | |
Never loaf through life at peace, never settle down to it | |
Never loaf through life at peace, stay down where you belong, boy | |
Now I am a foreign man as foreign as a man could be | |
Now I am a foreign man, a stranger in my own life | |
I never roamed around the world, I never let my deal go down | |
I never spent my life at ease, don t know where I belong, boy |
