Give to me the life I love,
Let the lave go by me,
Give the jol -- ly heaven a -- bove,
And the by -- way nigh me.
Bed in the bush with stars to see,
Bread I dip in the ri -- ver_
There's the life for a man like me,
There's the life for ev -- er.
Let the blow fall soon or late,
Let what will be o'er me;
Give the face of earth a -- round,
And the road be -- fore me.
Wealth I seek not, hope nor love,
Nor a friend to know me;
All I seek, the heaven a -- bove,
And the road be -- low me.
Or let au -- tumn fall on me
Where a -- field I lin -- ger.
Si -- lenc -- ing the bird on tree,
Bi -- ting the blue fin -- ger.
White as meal the fros -- ty field—
Warm the fire -- side ha -- ven—
Not to au -- tumn will I yield,
Not to win -- ter e -- ven!
