Lyrics

1. Well, you did not have a home.
There were places you visited frequently,
you kicked off your shoes and you scratched your feet.
No wonder the world belongs to the meek;
you did not have a home.
No, you did not have a home.

2. And you did not take a wife.
There were pretty maids all in a row
who lined up to touch the hem of your robe,
but you had no place to take them,
so, you did not take a wife.
No, you did not take a wife.

Refrain
Birds have nests, foxes have dens,
but the hope of the whole world rests
on the shoulders of a homeless man.
’Cause you did not have a home. (repeat last time)

3. Well, you had no stones to throw.
You came without an ax to grind;
you did not toe the party line.
No wonder sight came to the blind;
you had no stones to throw.
You had no stones to throw.

4. And you rode an ass’s foal.
They spread their coats
and they cut down palms
for you and your donkey to walk upon,
but the world won’t find what it thinks it wants
on the back of an ass’s foal.
So, I guess you had to get sold,
’cause the world can’t stand what it can’t own,
and it can’t own you ’cause you did not have a home.
