All my wealth in my hands I carry—

Look, behold it—my gay guitar!

Gold and houses and lands encumber,

Never king, in his palace high,

Slumber’d as sweetly as I slumber,

Under the clear, unclouded sky.

Free as the wind, the rollicking rover,

Little of trouble or care I know,

Wandering, wandering all the world over,

Hither and thither, and to and fro.
