We lived alone, my house and I We had the earth, we had the sky I had a lamp against the dark And I was happy as a lark I had a stove and a window screen I had a table painted green Sat on a chair with a broken back Wearing a pretty potato sack I had a rug upon the floor And roses bloomed around my door Though my estate was never high My house was snug and so was I We lived alone, my house and I We had the earth, we had the sky I had a job, my wants were few They were until I wanted you And when I set my eyes on you Nothing else would do Nothing else would do
