Seven Daffodils

Seven Daffodils

I do not have a mansion, I haven’t any land.
Not one paper dollar to crinkle in my hand.
But I can give you morning on a thousand hills
And kiss you, and give you seven daffodils.

I do not have a fortune to buy you pretty things
But I can weave you moonbeams
For necklaces and rings
And I can give you morning on a thousand hills
And kiss you, and give you seven daffodils.

Seven golden daffodils all shining in the sun
Light our way to evening when our day is done
And I can give you music, and a crust of bread
A pillow of piney boughs to rest your head.

I do not have a mansion, I haven’t any land.
Not one paper dollar to crinkle in my hand.
And I can give you morning on a thousand hills
And kiss you, and give you seven daffodils.
And kiss you, and give you seven daffodils.

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Join The Jubilee CD.
