[Verse 1]
Oh, I have been a beggar
And shall be one again
And few the ones with help to lend
Within the world of men
[Chorus]
One day I walk in flowers
One day I walk on stones
Today I walk in hours
One day I shall be home
[Verse 2]
I've sat on the street corners
And watched the bootheels shine
And cried out glad and cried out sad
With every voice but mine
[Chorus]
One day I walk in flowers
One day I walk on stones
Today I walk in hours
One day I shall be home
One day I shall be home
[Outro]
Thank you
We're gonna play a song now
And I'm going to work our way into it playing a very old piece
Up until, uh, tonight
I've introduced it as being a piece from the fourteenth century
I was corrected last night though
By somebody who knew whose piece it was
Uh, it's from the fifteenth century, so
It comes from Burgundy
Uh, it was composed by a man named Gilles Binchois
It was quite, he was quite a popular composer at the time, in that place
And you can imagine this tune
Being number five with a crossbow bolt or something
On the Burgundian hit parade
Oh, I have been a beggar
And shall be one again
And few the ones with help to lend
Within the world of men
[Chorus]
One day I walk in flowers
One day I walk on stones
Today I walk in hours
One day I shall be home
[Verse 2]
I've sat on the street corners
And watched the bootheels shine
And cried out glad and cried out sad
With every voice but mine
[Chorus]
One day I walk in flowers
One day I walk on stones
Today I walk in hours
One day I shall be home
One day I shall be home
[Outro]
