Ballad Of The Man

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Once I was rich but I'm better off with a satisfied mind

I go down to the river, see the boats go sailing down

I throw stones in the river, it keeps me satisfied, satisfied

I live day by day, take every day as it comes

Some are good and some are bad

Spanish Johnny came in from the underworld last night

Looking for a gang to rob a bank

Looking for some easy money

He said "Do you wanna join my gang"

I said "You must be joking"

Spanish Johnny got caught

And went to jail to be a nice fellow for a long time

I just live from day to day

Knowing I'm better off than a bank-robber

I believe, I believe in you

I'm better off as I am
