GUEST,Songster Lyr Req: ?house in country (4) Lyr Req: ?house in country 01 Jun 23


I'm having one of those brain fog moments and maybe someone can help me with the name of this song and who performs it. I believe it's a song of the travellers/gypsies . The lyrics, as I remember, go something like: I don't have a house in the country, I don't have a house in the town, but I'll saddle up my pony and travel the world around.

The singer talks about not having a home but feeling free to go anywhere and the last verse is about how he is not going to serve his king and country because he doesn't have a home to serve them from. I don't remember if this song is actually traditional, or written in the traditional style. Has a simple but appealing melody.

I d like to locate the song again,I believe it s also on youtube . Thanks for your help in advance.
