| There's men that's built fer fightin' men who love to plan an' scheme | B |
| Men that's born with love o' conquest an' there's men that love to dream | B |
| Men who 'd rather spend a life time where the roses bloom and nod | E |

| Folks may call me shiftless maybe an' may sneer when they go by | F |
| In their autos big an' splendid while I'm gazin' at the sky | F |

| Fer I 'm happier with the roses an' the hollyhocks an' trees | H |
| Than I would be makin' money that is why I take my ease | H |
