Joan Baez - If I Knew lyrics
[Joan Baez - If I Knew lyrics]
If I knew where the wild dove flew
I would not tell the hunter
But I would tell you
Though they say you're not a brave man
Hardly a man at all
You would not shoot the wild things
Like brave men in the fall m-m-m-m mm
If I knew where calypso bloomed
I would not tell the ladies
But I would tell you
For you would not take the flower
For money or for love
Or harm a single petal
'cause you would not shoot the dove
M-m-m-m mm
If I knew where our green love grew
I would not tell the others
But I would tell you
For 'though the world may call you craven
I know it is not true
And 'though a sword may hang between us
My songs are all for you m-m-m-m mm
I would not tell the hunter
But I would tell you
Though they say you're not a brave man
Hardly a man at all
You would not shoot the wild things
Like brave men in the fall m-m-m-m mm
If I knew where calypso bloomed
I would not tell the ladies
But I would tell you
For you would not take the flower
For money or for love
Or harm a single petal
'cause you would not shoot the dove
M-m-m-m mm
If I knew where our green love grew
I would not tell the others
But I would tell you
For 'though the world may call you craven
I know it is not true
And 'though a sword may hang between us
My songs are all for you m-m-m-m mm
