I'm a house wren, hunting for a house

I haven't found one, I'm on the lookout
D   G      D A
For a home to call my own

A private residence
D      G     D A
Through the grapevine I heard an empty gourd
D     G      D A
Is hangin' up somewhere on some old lady's porch
D      G     D A
I'll pack my bags and off I'll go

To my new humble abode

I am halfway home

Not too big, and not too small

I got my eyes peeled for a window box

An old tin can, a boot or a flower pot
