Everyone does abuse me so
for what reason I don't know
I am getting peace of mind
all of which is in good time.

There is a way that I must find
through this barren life of mine
to achieve that which I have not
now is the reason for my lot.

I know now what must be done
to ease the scorching of the sun
Stay in the shade and take care
so as not to catch a chill in there.

That is why I say to you
you must be careful too.
