Standard (EADGBE)

Though I haven't got a penny to my name

I've got wealth beyond compare just the same

In my mind the greatest treasure there could be

Just to live the way I live because I'm free

I'm not bound to anyone that takes my time

Or pleasures that will pray up on my mind

And I walk the roads and do just as I please

My life belongs to me 'cause I'm free

I'm free from social ties that tend to bind me

Or to live the life that wasn't meant for me

Competing for the things that have no meaning

I'm wealthy in my mind because I'm free

The ribbons of the land that keep me a knowing

There's always something new for me to see

A whistle in the wind then I'll be going

To live the way I live because I'm free

Though I haven't got a penny to my name...
