Dunno a heap about the what an' why Can't say's I ever knowed Heaven to me's a fair blue stretch of sky Earth's jest a dusty road Dunno the names o' thigs, nor what they are Can't say's I ever will Dunno about God - he's jest the noddin' star Atop the windy hill Dunno about Life - it's jest a tramp alone From wakin'-time to doss Dunno about Death - it's jest a quiet stone All over-grey wi' moss An' why I live, an' why the old world spins Are things I never knowed My mark's the gypsy fires, the lonely inns An' jest the dusty road
