| 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 |
| Than win prizes on the highways where the fightin' brothers plod | 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 |
| An' perhaps they think I envy 'em the luxuries they know | G |
| But I don't My soul don't need 'em an' I 'd gladly tell 'em so | G |
| 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 |
