Oh You did not have a home

There were plac-es You visited fre-quently

Took off Your shoes and scratched Your feet

[G/f#]

Cause You knew that the whole world be-longed to the meek

But You did not have a home

No You did not have a home

And You did not take a wife

There were pretty maids all in a row

Who lined up to touch the hem of Your robe

But You had no place to take them

So You did not take a wife

No You did not take a wife

Birds have nests, fox-es have dens

But the hope of the whole world rests

On the shoul-ders of a homeless man

You had the shoul-ders of a homeless man

You did not have a home

And you had no stones to throw

You cam without an ax to grind

You did not tow the party line

No wonder sight came to the blind

You had no stones to throw

No you had no stones to throw

So you rode and ass's foal

Well they spread out they're coats and cut down palms

For you and your donkey to walk upon

But the world can't find what it thinks it wants

On the back of an ass's foal

So I had you, guess you had to be sold

Cause the world can't stand what it cannot own

And it can't own you

You did not have a home

Birds have nests, foxes have dens

But the hope of the whole world rests

On the shoulders of a homeless man

You had the shoulders of a homeless man

You did not have a home

Birds have nests, foxes have dens

But the hope of the whole world rests

On the shoulders of a homeless man

You had the shoulders of a homeless man

You did not have a home
