I was a child
Who was born to nothing
But had the world
To call my home
So I spent my life a traveling
So i would never
Be on my own
With my good horse
To pull me
And my lord
To guide the way
I traveld through the valley’s
To the mountains faraway
I fell in love in Ireland
To a girl who worked the fare
In her eyes there was a sparkle
There was sunlight in her hair
She did agree to marry me
And together we travel on
So now I have a family
And a world to call my home
For a man
Who was born to nothing
I will try to do my best
I will take only
What is earned by me
And leave for you the rest
With honesty and dignity
I will work hard for any pay
So you can put your trust in me
Next time I’m down your way
From a child
Who was born to nothing
Who became the man
You see today
Who will always give you everything
Straight from the heart of me
Forever we will share this home
Our family is you and me
And for this man
Who was born to nothing
That’s more than enough for me ☺xx
