lyrics

no fire in my kitchen
no kitchen you see
but i fry up & boil for
my pleasure & me

my bed has no trestle
my trestle no bed
but no man i know rests
a happier head

my house has no door
my door has no house
& always my sweetheart
she comes & she goes

my cellar is high
my barn it is deep
all topsy & turvy
i lay down to sleep

& sharpish awaking
i’m off at a pace
at no place i’m stopping
my stopping’s no place

my house has no door
my door has no house
& always my sweetheart
she comes & she goes

it’s over the gate
higher than noon
jumping a thistle
whistling a tune

i’m making it up
i can’t tell a lie
hands on the ground
& my shoes in the sky

my house has no door
my door has no house
& always my sweetheart
she comes & she goes
