I Have Made a Place

I don't have much at all

But I have sheep

I have nothing like a fortune

But I can sleep

All of the widows in town

Have given me their key

They count on no judgement

Only hard love from me

Those who want to

They call my name and

Recognise my face

I don't know why

I was born but

I have made a place

I built my own house

And have no gate

I go to bed so early

And sleep so late

When I die there will be a hole

No other man can cover

I have made a place here

I am my Own lover

Those who want to

They call my name and

Recognise my face

I don't know why

I was born but

I have made a place

I have many friends

And children call me master

I help older folks build fires

To warm their homes up faster

I don't know why

I was born, but

I have made a place
