when the lord made me

when the lord made me he made a rolling stone
he made a curious wanderer of all that's unknown
he made somebody who is everywhere at home
when the lord made me he made a rolling stone

when the lord made me he made a penniless man
he made me without money and without land
he made me without a single red cent in my hand
when the lord made me he made a penniless man

when i get older i'll be a friend to many
i'll be a friend to strangers, i'll be a friend to any
i'll be someone who's always happy and grinny
when i get older i'll be friend to many

when i get older i will settle down
i'll find a wife of my own and a job in town
i'll show everyone there what i've found
when i get older i will settle down

when the lord takes me it'll be the perfect day
just when i've said all i've had to say
just when everyone here will be okay
when the lord takes me it'll be the perfect day

when i'm gone at my grave don't stand
don't spend anytime on that patch of land
keep on walking, shake somebody's hand
when i'm gone at my grave don't stand
