If I Had a Lover

Well, if I had a lover, couldn't keep it undercover And fall for her like leaves And if I had a dollar, I'd save the whole holler And buy that girl a ring Well, ever since I don't have any I'm about as lonely as can be But if I had a lover and I had a dollar What a happy ole boy I'll be That's all I want, but I know it's not meant to be But I'm jealous how the wind is free 'Cause I'm all locked up in my own misery With nobody to blame but me Well, if I had a lover, couldn't keep it undercover And fall for her like leaves And if I had a dollar, I'd save the whole holler And buy that girl a ring Well, ever since I don't have any I'm about as lonely as can be But if I had a lover and I had a dollar What a happy ole boy I'll be Well, then there's that girl, but she pays no mind to me Yeah, somethin' like the rocks beneath my feet And I hear them say, I'm missin' the forest for the tree But I don't care when she's the prettiest tree I've seen Well, if I had a lover, couldn't keep it undercover And fall for her like leaves And if I had a dollar, I'd save the whole holler And buy that girl a ring Well, ever since I don't have any I'm about as lonely as can be Well, if I had a lover and I had a dollar What a happy ole boy I'll be Well, if I had a lover, couldn't keep it undercover And fall for her like leaves And if I had a dollar, I'd save the whole holler And buy that girl a ring Well, ever since I don't have any I'm about as lonely as can be But if I had a lover and I had a dollar What a happy ole boy I'll be
