You are a fair maid
Rich men circle like birds of prey, birds of prey
No money or fame
I can offer you just my name, just my name

I will build you a house
?? back on the floors
Two rocking chairs on the front porch
I will build you a house

They dress in fine clothes
Poor men sweat for their coins of gold, coins of gold
If you look close
Soft hands point to the easy road, easy road

I will build you a house
?? back on the floors
Two rocking chairs on the front porch
I will build you a house

And you'll never to fear I'm not there
Hard years lead to disrepair

I will build you a house
?? back on the floors
Two rocking chairs on the front porch
I will build you a house
I will build you a house
