I don't wanna work, and I don't wanna marry
C                       G
I don't wanna waste my time
C                F
I only take just what I can carry
       C       G     C
And I leave a lot behind

I worked on the land and I worked on the sea
                            G
I was up in the air at the time
   C                     F
I found that working was not for me
       C        G       C
And I left that life behind

And now I don't wanna work, I don't wanna marry
I don't wanna waste my time
I only take just what I can carry
And I leave a lot behind

I had a girl and I love her still 
She was always on my mind
She wouldn't ramble, she couldn't gamble
And I left that girl behind

I don't wanna work, I don't wanna marry
I don't wanna waste my time
I only take just what I can carry
And I leave a lot behind

I loaded my back with packs and sacks
Things that I called mine
I never really knew how heavy they were
Until I left those things behind

And now I don't wanna work, I don't wanna marry
I don't wanna waste my time
I only take just what I can carry
And I leave a lot behind

I leave an awful lot behind
I leave a lot behind
