Contented Man Songtext
von Davey Dodds

It′s a cold night and drear night
Clouds scudding through the sky
I'm out with my dog
All the village sleeps now

In the place I call home
I call home

I have walked your lanes
Poached your woods
Fished your rivers and your streams
Made love on your hillsides
Watched for a badger and a hare

In the place I call home
I call home

There′s a lady who looks after me
She nourishes and cares for me
She's got long gold flowing hair
Style, grace and honesty


In the place I call home
I call home

It has made me what I am
It has made me a well contented man
There's a flickering fire
And a glass of red wine
Conveniently close to hand
There′s a room full of friends and friendship
And the smoke and the music and the white figures

In the place
In the place I call home
I call home
I call home

I′m a mad dog of an Englishman
I still go in the midday sun
The world outside is crazy
But I'm clinging to reality

In the place I call home
I call home
I call home
